Christmas in July – colour scheme – Blue Pink Platinum

No idea what I was thinking when I chose this colour scheme for today’s Christmas in July but I got there and managed four cards with this combo!

A mix of patterned papers from the magazine kit made the backgrounds mixed in with pink cardstock.

A border punch made an appearance along with random dies for the sentiments. I also used four of the tree shaped die cuts I was gifted years ago to create the main toppers for the cards.

I spritzed them with the lilac and lambswool Kingston Crafts spritz which make them pink and platinum!

Then I added embossing by either stamping or embossing the embossing using the frontage mix that flings glitter everywhere! But the final trees I love so hey ho!

By adding in the punched elements and those fun die cuts for the sentiments I was able to vary these from just becoming the usual paper and cardstock mat backgrounds I would normally do.

It was also fun to add in that chiffon wired ribbon too add a different texture.

Quite fun and very pretty cards which if I hadn’t challenged myself with the colour scheme I would never have made – a good little push out of the comfort zone!

Just one more day of Christmas in July to go! We are nearly there!

Happy crafting!

    1. Thank you – I must admit the delicate colours of these look so lovely in real life – but know it’s an odd colour scheme for Christmas for some!
