This is my sample for Barbara's awesome Color Challenge - Pool Party, Pretty Peacock and Very Vanilla with ribbon as the dessert option.
I started by stamping the image on Very Vanilla, heat embossed it in silver and die-cut the ornaments. Then I repeated on the Pool Party and Pretty Peacock. At the top of the Very Vanilla panel, I stamped the bough twice in Island Indigo, the closest match I have to the Pretty Peacock. I glued the die-cut panel to the Pool Party card base and added a strip of Peacock DSP.
I had fun filling in the die-cut openings with the silver embossed ornaments and embellishing with lots of bling. A couple small bows from vanilla ribbon at the top of the bough for the dessert. I thought this would be a Christmas card, however after seeing it done, it looked just right for a New Year's celebration. So I stamped the sentiment and have titled it "Bling in the New Year".
What will you celebrate with these colors? I hope you have fun creating. TFL
