30 day Christmas card making challenge- day 10

Today’s challenge is a colour challenge. Martin used Concord & 9th colours – plumberry, rainforest & lilac.

And for my interpretation … Blackberry Bliss, Shaded Spruce and Bubble Bath (I think I called it ballet slipper on the video by mistake) were the cardstocks I chose to use along with a pop of satin foiled cardstock and used a few tricks to vary up the greens!

As for the card – well the Alex Syberia dies came out to play and I put this together based on the layout that the larger die suggests.

I even used the die cut frame for the inking to give the base of the card a light inking of the Rainforest ink.

It did take a while to put the card together as it was the first time of assembling this – and although straightforward I kept having to stop and start to make sure I had enough elements.

I added some difference to the greenery by either adding some promarkers to darken them, some inking and in the case of the smaller leaves I added clear embossing!

I added some shimmer to the centres of the flowers and also to the rosehip type berries.

Then the sentiment is a Tim Holtz sticker mounted onto the lilac satin foiled cardstock.

I just love these dies so much! So much fun to work with and although I don’t think I got this perfectly aligned I did quite a good job and so consider it easy once all the die cutting is done!

Happy crafting!
