I'm so excited to be joining the Color Hues Challenge as a guest designer today! They have a super talented Design Team and I love seeing what they come up with for each challenge and I'm always inspired. Thanks for having me!!
I love purple so I was excited to see this combo! I decided to do a Christmas card using the Neutral Noel Suite. The little purple village is a fun look for Christmas I think!
I embossed the Very Vanilla background panel with the Softly Woven embossing folder for a nice bit of texture. The greenery is Mossy Meadow and makes a nice big oval frame for the sentiment and buildings.
A tiny bit of yellow is blended on the windows for a nice golden glow. I just used whatever was left on the blending brush so I can't even say which yellow. I'm considering the yellow a neutral here, it's like a version of the Very Vanilla lol! I used both Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather for the buildings. Two-Toned Mossy Meadow cardstock for a slightly lighter look for the garland and the wreath.
I cut berries out of both purples and covered them with clear Wink of Stella. They are then grouped around the wreath adding in some Gold Dots for a bit of shine.
Thanks for having me Color Hues; it was a fun combo to work with!
