An Icy Color Combo for Christmas & Hanukkah! HSS200

Pin It Now! I can't believe Hand Stamped Sentiments is hitting this huge milestone...200 crafty challenges!  I've been with them for over two years now, and it's been so fun and such a blast.

This week the challenge is a unique color combo.  It had me scratching my head, but I came up with a design that was great for both Christmas and Hanukkah!

Look at these colors!  So cool and crisp. 

A closer look at them...My final Christmas design features Ornamental Pine embossed with Smoky Slate Stampin' Emboss, and rubbed with a sponge and Tempting Turquoise ink.  I like the glow that it gives the Pool Party cardstock. 

I decided to try it out with my Hanukkah stamp - lovely! 

And my first design, basically the same as the first Christmas card, but without the stepped up embellishments.  This is a great card for mailing!

Won't you join us at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week?  I'd love to see how you're inspired!
