Hi and welcome to the 100th Merry Monday challenge! What an accomplishment! For nearly 2 years Lesley has been helping us to create Christmas cards regularly rather than in a massive rush at Christmas!
To celebrate the 100th challenge we have a choice - sketch or colors or both. I combined the challenges to come up with this:
I'm not a fan of pink normally but I do love bright pink and lime green together - it's such a modern and bright combo. I chose a cute and whimsical stamp to go with these colors. As cute and whimsical is not a regular occupant in my craft room, I was limited, but Polar Party came to the rescue. I stamped the trees image and colored with Copics.
As I don't have any pink/green patterned paper, I made my own, using a Tim Holtz stencil and sponging on Melon Mambo ink. I then moved the stencil and sponged on some Lucky Limeade ink. The green panels were dry embossed before being cut.
Here's a peek at the inside.
Thanks for looking. Head on over to the challenge blog to check out the amazing creations from the rest of the DT.
Products used:
Stamps: Polar Party
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade
Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White, Xpress-it
Accessories: Copic Markers, White Organza Ribbon, Tim Holtz stencil
Cheers
