Are you all enjoying the Papertrey anniversary festivities?! How exciting is the new Fillable Frames Collection by Heather Nicholes & Color Couture by Dawn McVey?! All the possibilities and just think the actual countdown begins tomorrow!!!In honor of Heather's and Dawn's new collections, Nicole had asked the Papertrey design team to create a 4' X 6' card front (using our favorite color combos), which she will frame and then give to the winner of today's color challenge.
The color combo pictured above has become a new favorite of mine. The first time I ever used the combo was only a month ago on this card. I love to add the bold colors of Raspberry Fizz and Enchanted Evening in small amounts so that they pop off of the more neutral colors of Kraft, Dark Chocolate and White. Making sure to place or use the bold colors in a way that helps direct your eye across the card.
I created a fun little stamped polka dot tree using the tree image from Beyond Basic Borders and polka dots from Polka Dot Basics. Glittered a Raspberry Fizz cardstock strip, attached it to a Kraft base under the tree image panel. Another new favorite of mine is to, wrap twill ribbon around twice before tying it into a bow. This is a great way to utilize the thinner twill ribbon when a wider ribbon is needed (but you may not have).
Stamped one of my favorite sentiments, from Signature Greetings. Then added a few touches of glitter, to the ends of the tree branches, to finish off the card.I hope you get a chance to give this color combo a try, it really is a fun one! Thanks for stopping by!
