Martin’s 30 day Christmas card challenge 2024 – colour combo – lavender, midnight blue and silver

Today’s colour combo led me to this card …

Yes pretty clean and simple for me!

Blended some ink with a post it note mask for the sky element and then a soft blend with the mask removed for the ground. I used sweet sugarplum ink for the blending but also went over it with my purple blending brush with whatever ink was left on that to make it more lavender. I did the same for a mat layer to keep the colours similar.

Then I stamped the tree using Starry Sky and watercoloured it with the same ink – I didn’t use watercolour card for this so the card I used reacted strangely to the water to make the ink hold more in some places than others but on such a small image I don’t think it matters.

I then stamped and embossed the little snowflake clusters with silver embossing and splattered the whole panel with silver acrylic paint. Love the effect of this!

I decided to stamp the sentiment in the same starry sky ink to coordinate.

I then edged the top panel with Night of Navy ink before layering it onto the mat and then the card blank is Night of Navy cardstock.

I then added gems around the sky for even more shine and called it done!

I love these Tracey Hey Alpaca Pals stamps so much – really can’t believe it took me this long to buy any Christmas themed ones from her!

Happy crafting!
