Today I'm sharing a card for the current colour challenge over at Color Hues:
Red and green is my all-time favourite festive colour combination so I just had to play along. I have a new die that I thought would be perfect to showcase these colours - take a look:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
I recently purchased the Holly Background Die from A Pocketful of Happiness and I thought it would make the perfect base for my card. I first cut the die in white and glued this to my white card base, then again in Real Red and Shaded Spruce and paper-pieced in the holly leaves and trio of berries - the photo below shows better the criss-cross pattern that links the tiny foliage clusters:
I finished with a sentiment from Concord & 9th's Holiday Sayings Dies that reminded me of the traditional carol to complete my card. Now, as simple as this card looks, the paper-piecing did take me quite a while. That said, I love the finished effect and it's a great way to showcase the challenge colours I think.
Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
