Afternoon folks.
It's the first of the month so there must be a new colour duo from Color Hues.
This time Karen has chosen an unusual combination for the time of year, well that's what I thought at first but then I thought and decided it was VERY appropriate and came up with this take on a sketch I found online.
What says red and black more than a Santa?
To start, I stamped the MFT Santa, coloured him with Copics and fussy cut him out to use later.
On an A6, top fold, white note card, I added a panel of black and white striped DP, followed by some white card embossed with a Cuttlebug EP. In my bits box I found 2 circles of white card, embossed the smallest with a Honey Bee EF and glued it over the stitched one. A hand cut banner from a scrap of red card and HO HO HO, cut from the same using MFT's small alphabet dies, were added to the embossed panel followed by the circles and Santa.
So that's it from me, but please check out the rest of the team here along with our two GDs Izzy and Colleen B.
We are looking forward to seeing your takes on the new colours in the gallery.
Your joy-filled Santa makes me smile! Talk about a fabulous card using the challenge colours; love the design!
