stamp set: Endless Wishes; ink - Blackberry Bliss, Sahara Sand, Soft Sky; Stampin' Write marker - Soft Sky card stock - Soft Sky
In the spirit of non-traditional Christmas color schemes, I wanted to recreate the colors from the Christmas Chard Challenges inspiration photo, specifically because it includes pink. Most of you know I don't really like pink, but not only is it *the color* for Breast Cancer Awareness month, it also means that Stephanie and Lauren will be donating $4 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for every card linked up at Jingle Belles that includes pink; how can I not like that? The design of this card is one I saw in the Stampin' Up!® demonstrators' magazine, Stampin' Success:
stamp set - Sassy Salutations; ink - Strawberry Slush; Stampin' Write marker - Rich Razzleberry; card stock - Very Vanilla, Wild Wasabi, Baked Brown Sugar; washi tape - Watercolor Wonder; punches - Scalloped Tag Topper, Confetti Stars; baker's twine - Metallic Gold
Just love your LIM card Kathe, those snowflakes look so delicate.

Terrific cards Kathe! The snowflakes are so pretty and soft, yet also look quite elegant!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the color pink, I dont care for it, but for the month of October I'll gladly celebrate it and all the beautiful women in my life who have been touched by cancer. It's awesome that Jingle Belles does this every year!

Great use of the colors, Kathe. Thanks for joining us at Christmas Card Challenges.
ReplyDeleteThose snowflakes are just adorable! And you are right, it's really a lot of fun to use non-traditional colors for christmas cards. It's a surprise for whoever gets the card and at least I won't be sick of red and green by december ;)
ReplyDeleteI love how you combined three challenges on the first card - it turned out beautifully. That snowflake set is a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, no! how did i not know that you don't love pink under ordinary circumstances?! holy wow, missus, then that makes your cards EVEN more impressive and you receive meritorious commendation for using a color you'd rather avoid, lol! thanks for "thinking pink" with us again at JINGLE BELLES in an awesome cause! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
