I'm super excited to be joining the Color Hues Challenge as a guest designer for their new challenge! It will run for a whole month so there's no excuse to not play along! And the colors are so awesome you won't want to miss out! I can wait to see what you create!
And now for the colors:
Now if you are still working on your Christmas cards like I am I don't think you can go wrong with a Pink & Silver design for this time of year! I went with a fun strand of pink Christmas lights but the possibilities are endless!
I was inspired by one of my stampers who is doing a "stash busters" craft hop in 2024 to pull a few items from my stash to use to create this card. The silver polka dot vellum, silver glimmer paper and Stitched Rectangle dies used to make the frame are all retired products but I've been holding onto to all of it so I might as well use it right??
The Merry & Bright stamp set and dies have been really fun to use this holiday season and I think the fat bulbs are just too cute in Bubble Bath ink with silver glimmer paper heart shaped filaments in this design.
The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set is stamped in Versamark and embossed in silver right on one of the bulbs. Silver foil paper was used for the wire and the bulb bases.
I used my Bubble Bath light Stampin' Blends marker to color a bit of white baker's twine for the sweet bow and then a few iridescent adhesive-backed discs add just a bit more shine to the design.
All of the current products used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
