Merriest Christmas

 Hello all! Just posting this card today that I will be putting over on the CAS Colour & Sketches challenge and the CAS Christmas challenge Non-Traditional Colours.



The photo of the card appears to have been Ink Blended but it is not. The lighting in the room I was using had cast a slight show.





I love the colours for the challenge but had to really think it through on how to incorporate them into a Christmas Card.  My final decision was to use the Purple Posy as the backdrop, the Basic Gray as an accent colour, and the Blackberry Bliss as the focal point. Since I didn't have a ribbon that would match to hang the ornament, I chose to use the rope die from Smooth Sailing cut out on Silver Glitter paper. I feel it was a good substitute for an actual ribbon.  


PRODUCTS USED
Stamps and Die: SU Ornament Keepsakes, Smooth Sailing Dies
MFT Mini Merry Messages
MFT A2 Rectangle Stax 1 Die
SU Blackberry Bliss ink

That is it for today. Stay Safe and Stay Well.

Blessings
Bernadette

Beautiful. Great idea to use those colours for a Christmas card. The silver glitter paper strip for the string works perfectly. Thank you for joining us at CAS Christmas.
