Color Hues #59

 Good afternoon! I'm back again with a new colour pairing from Color Hues! I went all festive with my take.



I had a couple of ideas in my head for this challenge but as I haven't made a start on my Christmas stash yet, I thought I would go down that route.
I made my wreath using some evergreen branch dies from IO which I cut from some sparkly green as well as some other plain shades of green. Once cut, I die cut a hoop of the dark green using a couple of circle dies and stated adding the branches until I had the right look. A few sparkly gold gems and a ribbon bow complete.
I used the layout at The Paper Players for inspiration, adding the wreath to a die cut panel of cream card over a slightly larger gold one and finally onto a small square base card. The sentiment is an oldie but goodie from Woodware.

So where will this colour choice take you? There's lots of fab inspiration from the rest of the team as well as our GD on the Color Hues blog. See you there!

  4. Julie, I love this gorgeous wreath. The touches of gold are just the perfect amount to add shimmer and shine, but not detract from that gorgeous focal image. So glad you shared this beauty with us at the Paper Players this week

  8. You've created an absolutely beautiful wreath! Last year at this time, I had 20 Christmas cards done. This year: none! I should definitely have gone down the same path. What an elegant start!
