Since I didn't have to leave for the show until 11:30a, I had time to make a card on World Card Making Day - just didn't have time to post it until now. Decided I'd make something for Just Us Girls #747 where they're using the colors chartreuse, light blue and gray (with any neutrals, of course). What a gorgeous combo & friend Lisa (My Paper Tales) is hosting so I wanted to play.
Supplies: Paper - My Favorite Things Christmas Cheer
& Limelight; Anchor Paper grays;
Spellbinders Betterpress Pebble; TH kraft metallic
Dies - My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 (retired);
Impression Obsession Pine Branch;
Birch Press Design Ornament Basics
Press Plate with Die - Spellbinders Merry Bright Sentiment Strips
Other - Spellbinders Betterpress Thunder ink;
Hero Arts Spring Enamel Stickers
Just did a bunch of die cutting and used a Betterpressed sentiment from the stash. Sorry the darkest color looks a bit blue in the photo; definitely is a dark gray! The top ornament layer was cut from a medium gray linen paper which has a reverse side of the lightest gray. Pebble Betterpress paper is a soft gray and I used a gorgeous gray Betterpress ink. The toppers were cut from Tim Holtz kraft metallic silver.
While I was diecutting the Belle ornament layers (there are 3), some labels cut from the centers. I decided to make another card, this time with just a basic ornament & the labels. Nice & simple.
Additional supplies: Spellbinders Sparkling Snow 3D Embossing Folder;
Poptone Berrylicious cardstock
That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty day!!

Both versions are lovely! I like the big layered ornaments and backgrounds you've given each of them. Thanks so much for playing along at Just Us Girls, Linda!
So pretty in our colors. I love that you took the colors and made a non-traditional Christmas theme. I love the pine branches and the little touch of silver! Thanks so much for playing with us this week at Just Us Girls!
Don't those colours look great together? love the simplicity of this one xx
You've nicely showcased the die and that color combination!
