Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #239 - Color Challenge


Happy Monday and welcome to a new Merry Monday Christmas Card challenge!  This week, Marcia has a beautiful one for us: Create a Christmas card using copper/bronze, gold and turquoise!

 For my card, I started by creating a watercolor background using the new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink pads.  Wow - do I LOVE these new pads!!  I took bronzy shimmer cardstock and cut "hills" using My Favorite Things Stitched Valley Die-Namics.  Then, with this cute Reverse Confetti Branch Out tree die, I cut shiny gold, turquoise glitter and bronzy shimmer cardstock.  To finish, I used a sentiment from My Favorite Things Joyous Christmas Sentiments set.


 Looking for a little more inspiration?  Then be sure to check out the wonderful projects from the rest of the Design Team.  Can't wait to see what YOU come up with this week!
