| I think we are going to have LOTS of players with this FAB color combo for the next two weeks at CR84FN40! You can go so many ways, but for this week, the colors inspired me to make my first Christmas card! If you need more inspiration, check out the GORGEOUS cards from our CR84FN Design Team listed in my sidebar. Also, I would like to welcome our Guest Designer for CR84FN40 and CR84FN41! Her name is Cheryl Lea and you can find her BEAUTIFUL creations at Ink Up, A Crafter's Journey. Now on to what I made! |
Who says you can't use roses on a Christmas card??? Not me, that's for sure! I just LOVE making roses and on this one I smooshed the red roses into Versamark and clear heat embossed them ~ one of my FAV techniques! You just can't go wrong with clear embossing powder!
Here's my card:

| I used white embossing powder for the Christmas tree and red roses as ornaments. The background is My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas paper from their mini paper pad. It was so pretty that all I had to do was add a ribbon and bow, some twine, my Christmas tree, and I was done! I could create with these colors all day long! I hope you find them inspiring and make some time to come play with us! |
