Color Challenge Christmas

 The last couple of weeks, I have participated in the TGIF Challenges, but this week, I decided to mix it up a little and do the Color Throwdown Challenge #561. They challenged followers to use the colors purple, light green, teal, and ivory. So I stepped up to the plate and threw down Soft Sea Foam, Coastal Cabana, Rich Razzleberry, and Very Vanilla by Stampin' Up!

For this card, I used the stamp set Country Home. This set is generally geared towards Thanksgiving, but I thought that if I colored the floral spray in the given colors it would have a Christmas feel. 

I stamped the sprays on Very Vanilla cardstock in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I then colored them in using aquapainters and my ink pads. The aquapainters make watercoloring so easy! I added Soft Suede to the colors given for the challenge in order to color the cattails. I tapped my acrylic blocks on my ink pads to get a little ink on them, then dipped the aquapainters in the ink and colored the leaves, berries, and cattails. 

I cut a circle using the Layering Circles dies from Soft Sea Foam cardstock and a slightly larger circle using the Stitched Shaped dies from Coastal Cabana cardstock. I wrapped some Linen Thread and Silver Metallic Thread around my fingers and then twisted it behind the circle. I secured the thread with a glue dot and then put dimensionals on the back of the circles to pop them up. I used an old die from Stampin' Up! to cut the "Joy" from Rich Razzleberry, but you could use the Hand-lettered Prose dies to assemble the word "Joy."

I layered the whole thing on Coastal Cabana cardstock and then Rich Razzleberry cardstock. I embossed the layer of Rich Razzleberry with the Subtle embossing folder before attaching it to a Rich Razzleberry card base. 

This non-traditional color scheme and non-Christmas stamp set combine to form an elegant Christmas card.
