Hello again!

Next up today is my entry in the Color Throwdown challenge which has a combo of pink, grey and green.

Oh my goodness! When I started swatching my  new mica stains on Saturday morning, I had no idea where it would lead! I decided to use three of them (Winterberry, Merry Mint and Frozen Fog) for my card for the challenge. I pulled out the fabulous Tim Holtz/Sizzix Holiday Blocks dies and got cutting.

I think the die set works best with four or five colours so I added white glitter card into my palette. Once everything was cut out, I had great fun creating little mini scenes in each block – drawing on inspiration from Tim Holtz’s makers – particularly Pete Hughes, Cheiron Brandon and Stacy Hutchinson.

I then assembled the cards on various bases and added stamped sentiments to a few of them.

Photographing the cards was a MAJOR challenge – I couldn’t use my photography box because the mica was so reflective and making the Frozen Fog appear silver rather than grey… I had to abandon it yesterday and try when I had more time this evening. The pink and grey appear a little darker than in real life, but at least you can see they grey now!

Thanks for stopping by!
