Snowflake Stripes for Color Hues

Hello friends!  How are your plans for Thanksgiving shaping up?  It is certainly getting close as we hit mid-month, which brings a new challenge over at Color Hues!  This time the lovely Marcia is hosting and has chosen two beautiful colors for her combo.

The Color Hues DT is also excited to announce an addition to our team!  The very talented Bonnie Klass has agreed to join us and I know she will inspire you with her beautiful creations.

I used three hues of pink along with aqua to create two modern style Christmas cards with these non-traditional colors.



The Snowflake Stripes stencil set has 3 stencils, two that create the stripes and the snowflake image and a third that could be used to color in the snowflake.  I opted to just use the first two and after completing my ink blending, I sprayed both panels with a shimmer spray for some subtle sparkle.

Next I used two different sentiments from the Simon Says Stamp Elegantly Modern Christmas sentiment set that were gold heat embossed then cut out with the matching dies.  When the panels dried, I trimmed one down for the landscape version, matting on some gold cardstock, then adhered to the white card base.  I kept the other panel A2 sized, adhered to a card base, then added a gold strip down the side.  After adding the sentiments to the cards, I used some gold glitter gems from my stash to finish things off.  These were really fast and fun to make - I know I will be making more with a variety of colors.


  

I hope these colors inspire you, whether for the holidays or beyond.  Whatever you're inspired to make I sure hope you'll join us!  The challenge remains open until 9 a.m. EST, Friday November 29th.

Thanks for visiting!  Take care and if you're celebrating Thanksgiving later this month, I hope you have a lovely time with family and/or friends.

Take care!
