Hello there!
The palette for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge is cobalt blue, aqua, grey and white and although the inspiration photo was of a gorgeous Mediterranean sea view, I thought of Christmas cards!
I decided to enter the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge as well and so this is my take on both challenges.
I used dies from Simon Says Stamp and Tonic Studios and blended Blueprint Sketch and Salty Ocean distress oxide inks to create the die cuts.
After I finished the card, I felt the background still needed a little something extra, so I added some stars and dots from a Lawn Fawn background die.
I’m also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (use a die or punch), the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge (Christmas in July) and the Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge (a favourite technique – inlaid die cutting).
Thanks for stopping by!
