A festive colour challenge indeed

Happy Festive Friyay!

Today I’m playing along with the current colour challenge over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!

And what a challenge it is! Yellow, orange and red! Typical autumn colours for LucieG! When I saw the combo, all I could think of was my Christmas in July 2022 failed card which used similar colours and which I repurposed into this autumnal card….. I was determined to make a Christmas card this time that I would not repurpose later!

After looking through my dies, I decided to use an older My Favorite Things die set of three stockings which I coloured using distress inks. It’s a simple die set of three stocking images but I wanted a little something extra, so I die cut them again from textured paper, trimmed sections and adhered to each stocking.

I added thin card strips to my card base and then adhered a Memory Box branch die cut. I hung the stockings from the branch and secured them with foam tape. Finally I added a sentiment from a My Favourite Stamps set.

Thanks for stopping by!
