Hi There!
Thanks so much for joining me today! We have a great challenge for you over on the Cut It Up! Challenge Blog - "Anything Goes Christmas!" Our generous sponsor for this challenge is Newton's Nook Designs and I have a card today which features a couple of their wonderful products! The design team has come up with some show-stopping inspiration for this challenge so head over and take a peek!
I started this design with Newton's "Plaid Stencil Set" and inked a two-toned rose plaid onto cream card stock using "Worn Lipstick" and "Picked Raspberry" Distress Oxide Inks. I spattered the plaid with some "Peeled Paint" Ink and gold metallic watercolors. I die cut the plaid background with an A-2 stitched rectangle and adhered it to a horizontal top-folding card base. Using Avery Elle's "Wonky Rectangular Frame Dies", I cut several frames from olive card stock, glued them together and set them aside.
The holly branch was cut using the Cricut, water colored and brushed with a top coat of Wink Of Stella. I die cut the ornament using Newton's "Ornament Shaker Set", ink blended the main shapes, cut the top hanger from gold card stock and glued the pieces together. The words were cut from the same cream card stock, glued onto the ornament and finished with a light application of Wink Of Stella. I attached the branch behind the frame, and adhere this to the card front. Gold thread was used to string the ornament onto the holly and the card was finished with a few gem stones.
I really liked the way this soft olive/rose color palette came together on this card in combination with the cream base. Hope you like it, too!
