A Beautiful Colour Combination

This week's 52 Christmas Card Countdown is to make a card with blue, cream, and gold - love that colour combination!

 

I had a die cut gold Merry Christmas sitting in my extra pieces box so started with that. It works really well with the Rubbernecker winter trees stamp as the stamp has a flat bottom - perfect to edge with that sentiment die!

I inked up the stamp with two shades of blue ink, stamped on cream cs, added glue and glitter to the trees, and finished off with some die cut gold Christmas stars.

Thanks for dropping by!






Supplies:
Stamps: Rubbernecker
Paper: cream and gold cs
Paper Size: A2
Ink: Distress Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire
Accessories: Impression Obsession sentiment die, Memory Box star dies, Quickie glue pen, glitter, foam tape

    Love your gold Merry Christmas and the "icy" forest! Great idea to add the gold stars that tie it all together!

    This wintry scene is fantastic! I like how you've balanced out the sentiment with the one star extending outside of the stamped area. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous card with us at 52CCT! :)
