JustRite Friday Challenge #125 Non-Traditional Christmas

Hi Everyone,

Here's a card I made for the JustRite Friday Challenge #125 Non-Traditional Christmas. For this challenge we had to create a card or project using non-traditional colors, NO RED or BURGANDY colors.

Here's my Card.

When I first saw this challenge, I knew I wanted to do a pink and brown Christmas card. Today I decided to go a little grungy with the color. I also decide to take to challenge myself a little more, by not using any pattern papers or nor any colored cardstock (okay, I made the card base using brown cardstock).

To make the background, I stamped the Elegant Fronds Background onto white cardstock using Rich Cocoa ink, and sponged the entire background using all the distress inks listed below.  I colored 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 sheet of white cardstock using all the distress ink, and die cut the frame. I stamped the ornaments and Poinsettias onto white cardstock using Rich Cocoa ink, I sponged the images with the pink distress inks, I die cut the images, and I sponged the edges of the die cuts with Vintage Photo distress ink. For the embellishments, I dyed the seam binding and cheese cloth with the distress inks.

I think the card turned out really nicely. I may have to try this again on another challenge using different colors.

Thanks for stopping by

Have a Blessed Day

Hugs,

Regina

Hello All,

It's time What's On Your Work desk? Wednesday. If you would like to know what this is all about, head on over to Julia's blog (Stamping Ground).

 One side of my desk is covered in stuff I can't show, but here's the other side.

 

I attended the Scrapbook Expo last Friday, and this is what I picked up. I made the journal in the Spellbinders class.
