Happy Thursday stampers!!!! Create with Connie and Mary is bringing you another fabulous challenge this week! CCMC #376 is a lovely color challenge.
Many of my regular visitors might know that purple is not the first color I reach for when crafting. However, I do enjoy it when it comes to a winter themed card. It always plays nice with a frosty blue. The color combo challenges us to use Lost Lagoon along with Perfect Plum. Lost Lagoon is kind of one of those colors that can go a couple of ways....sometimes it looks blue, sometimes it looks greenish. I chose to color in the evergreen trees (which I stamped twice) from {Happy Scenes} with my Lost Lagoon pad and blender pen. I think it makes the trees look wonderful!
I sponged in Perfect Plum to make a pretty night sky. I added the snow in the trees and snowflakes with my white gel pen.
I also colored the tree trunks with my Tip Top Taupe marker.
I lightly sponged the snowbanks with a little Lost Lagoon as well.
The lovely sentiment is from {Wonderland}.
For the background, I stamped the two bigger snowflakes from {Flurry of Wishes} onto a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Perfect Plum with the same color ink.
I added a Lost Lagoon banner cut from retired Floral District DSP. I thought it looked nice because the print has what looks like little snowflakes on it.
The white glitter ribbon was added because I accidentally dropped one of my stamps onto my card.....don't you hate it when that happens???? Luckily, it was in a spot where I could cover it up easily. It even looks as though I meant to put it there! LOL!
I hope you can check out and leave some blog love on the other designers sites!
Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
