These colours at Color Throwdown had me stumped at first.
The berry red/maroon was really difficult to find.
I had resolved to make anything but a Christmas card, and guess what I ended up with?
There on my desk was Kaisercraft's Mistletoe collectables and in the centre of them were the pointsettias.
Christmas here in Australia is hot, so the orange reminded me of that.
Here's my take on this week's challenge.
At Jingle Belles the theme is holiday leftovers.
I had stamped the 3 holly branches for something else I'm making and not used them.
I used up dregs of a paint tube (lime) that I've had for 7 years.
I added water and making a water colour wash background.
On went the 3 holly stamped and cut out branches and I added a leftover sentiment from a Kaisercaft pack I had.
Here is my very economical card.
The white cardstock was donated to me as well.
