Hi there! It's been a while...
I'm back today sharing a color challenge card I'm also sharing over at Splitcoaststampers.
- The challenge calls for Rococo Rose + Mango Melody + Pear Pizzazz with wood grain for dessert. I decided to pull of Cup of Christmas and create a little table scene.
- I used a piece of wood grain paper from the Come to Gather DSP collection applied over a Whisper White card as the base of my card - the table so to speak.
- After stamping my poinsettia mugs in Early Espresso I colored them with the Rococo Rose Blends Combo. I used my Light Old Olive Blends for Pear Pizzazz and Mango Melody Dark Blends for the Poinsettia centers.
- I created a Pear Pizzazz table runner with the little holly border stamp that is part of the Cup of Christmas Bundle. The Subtle Embossing Folder gives a fabric like texture. All stamping was done prior to using the folder. I initially planned to use white lace (Detailed Lace Dies) for the edge of my runner. When it didn't look quite right I switched it up to Early Espresso to pick up on the dark brown of the wood grain. Maybe there is Mint Chocolate in the cups?
- The edges of the card are lightly sponged, again with Early Espresso.
