Afternoon all. A new month has begun, so it's time for a new challenge at Color Hues but it's also Christmas in July over at Uniko! What says Christmas more than a Christmas sweater?
The Color Hues pairing chosen by Tracey had me reaching for the Background Builders Christmas 2018 set to create a fun sweater!
I simply stamped and embossed in white, 3 of the Scandinavian star strips and bookended them with the diagonal stripe one. I cut away the neck opening with a circle die and cut a welt with two more circle dies from the leftovers, trimming the panel down to reveal a white border when added to my white base card. I finished it off with a simple sentiment from Uniko's Christmas Sentiments.
So what will the new colours inspire you to create? Looking forward to seeing your makes in the Color Hues gallery. For more red and white inspiration why not check out the rest of the team and our GD here?
I love your sweater...in fact, I want one just like it in real life! So clever and creative.

ReplyDeleteFun sweater design, Julie! The embossed design reminds me of Norwegian style sweaters and it certainly looks gorgeous in red and white!
ReplyDeleteI have a similar stamp, but would never have thought to create a sweater with it! Your creativity knows no bounds!
