Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the United States! Hope you get to enjoy time with family or friends! It is also my son’s birthday, so we’ll get to celebrate that as well! I’ll have 12 here this year as my oldest son’s family is out of town to his wife’s parents. This holiday, along with my family, I’m grateful and thankful that I have recovered as well as I have from a serious illness last year.
But it’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. We have a pretty color combination for you to try!
JOY OF NOEL
I challenged myself to use these colors to make a Christmas card! I think it turned out really well!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lost Lagoon cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White is added on front.
- A 2 x 5 piece of Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Paper was cut with a banner end, then added to the front.
- The Deckled Circle was cut from Pebbled Path with the Dies.
- Two evergreen branches were cut with the Joy of Noel Dies from Lost Lagoon cardstock.
- The branch was stamped with Pebbled Path Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Lost Lagoon, Copper Clay and Pebbled Path Stampin’ Blends. It was cut with the Joy of Noel Dies. The branch and evergreens were added to the bottom of the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Merry Christmas from Merry & Bright was stamped with Copper Clay Ink on Basic White cardstock and hand-cut, then added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Copper Clay In Color Jute Trim was tied in a bow and added to the stems with a Mini Glue Dot.
