This challenge REALLY got me thinking! I had quite a time of it, trying to work out a good balance of all the colours - I had several ideas that were canned, after they turned out disastrously. In the end, I opted for quite a bit of white, and my favourite neutral, Crumb Cake, to tone down the contrasts.
Even though the 'baubles' on the centre tree look red, I assure you they are stamped in Strawberry Slush ink! Because Blackberry Bliss is so bold, I opted to use it sparingly, for the sentiment.
Here are the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card:

Very pretty, Christine! And a good solution using a large amount of white with such bold colors. Love how the trees fit perfectly between the two embossed borders and the "bling" on the branches!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a clever way to use the challenge colours, Christine! You've created a beautiful, serene card using a predominantly bright colour scheme.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! Wonderful take on the color challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis is so light and lacy and pretty Christine! It has a real timeless feel. xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Christine. With the embossing at the top and bottom I think it looks as though the trees are in a shop window - all sparkling and bright.

I think your idea of sticking to your favourite neutrals worked beautifully for you - such a soft and pretty card. That Soft Sky seam binding bow is adorable. xox
ReplyDeleteYour card is just beautiful Christine - lovely and soft. I keep forgetting about Lovely as a Tree - it seems like ages since I've used it.
