Hi, Friends......
Taking time out from the Coffee Hop to post a Christmas card in non-traditional colors. I realize that not EVERYWHERE gets snow at Christmas so maybe this scene looks a little more like home to some of you. :)
I was inspired by the Winnie & Walter November Color Challenge. Look at this beautiful color palette that Heather chose for us this time:
I knew I wanted to try making a blended sky with those gorgeous colors and heat embossed some W&W silhouettes to go with it. LOVE!!!!
Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - Our Town stamp set
Winnie & Walter - Comfort + Joy stamp set
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Distress Inks in Seedless Preserves, Mermaid Lagoon, Spiced Marigold, Rusty Hinge, and Black Soot
Versafine Ink in Onyx Black
Clear embossing powder
Core'dinations - heavy duty white cardstock
Hope you like this non-traditional Christmas card! It's fun to do something different sometimes. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your sweet comments. They mean so much to me!!!
❤
