Color Throwdown Challenge 12

CTD12 banner

Well, you can tell when the seasons are changing..stampers begin thinking about Christmas and the holidays!  (Of course, I am always thinking about Christmas!) 

CTD12 swatch

Today's colors of Real Red, Old Olive and Kraft (plus Bashful Blue if you want) seemed to want to be made into a Christmas card, so I obliged.  Here is my creation for Color Throwdown Challenge 12; I opted not to use Bashful Blue:

CTD12

I had some Basic Grey Fruitcake Nutcracker DP with close colors, and I broke out my Crafty Secrets Vintage Christmas set.  I added some background stamping right on the DP, added layers of cardstock & ribbon and an snowflake accent made from some shrink plastic.   Not sure that really "matches" this card....have to think about that some more! 

  • Stamps:  Crafty Secrets Vintage Christmas, Snowflake Spot by SU
  • Paper:  Real Red, Old Olive, Kraft, Very Vanilla, BG
  • Ink:  Real Red, Close to Cocoa, Chalk Red
  • Acc:  Distresser, Wide Red Grosgrain, Narrow Olive Grosgrain, Shrink Plastic, Scallop Punch, Heat Tool, 1/8" punch, string, Dimensionals

Now check out what the other Challengers have created:
