Once again, it's time for the PTI Blog Hop. Even though I've been quite busy (& am currently in Kinshasa, DR Congo), I was determined to still participate. This month's challenge was to create a Christmas card using a non-traditional colour combination. Nichole was kind enough to post six colour combinations on her blog (accompanied by a photo for inspiration). They were such great photos and colour combinations, that I was hoping to create a card for each one, but, unfortunately, I ran out of time. However, I did manage to make two of them.
Here's the first colour combination:
And the card I made, using the stripes in the scarf as inspiration:
I used PTI cardstock (soft stone, aqua mist, ocean tides), stamps (nativitiy silhouette additions) and buttons. The twine is Lawn Fawn.
And here's the second colour combination that I used:
And, my card:
I used PTI cardstock (vintage cream, berry sorbet, harvest gold, melon berry, spring moss), stamps (wreath for all seaons), buttons, twine and dies (delightful doilies, double-ended banner).
Thanks for looking!
Pretty cards, Leigh. I really like the color scheme with the nativity silhouette.

ReplyDeleteI love, love the colors on the wiseman card! Beautiful! Not sure how you find time to make so many beautiful cards and go to DRC. Trusting that God will use you to be an encouragement there.
ReplyDeleteBoth are wonderful cards, Leigh, but the first is my favorite. Part of the reason is due to the color combination and part to your design, which focuses so perfectly on the reason behind Christmas.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cards! I love the second one with the white wood grain over the bold stripes! Looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Love both of them. The nativity scene and the woodgrain both look fabulous. - Irma
