This is my sample for CC867. Karen is our hostess and she chose mint macaron, petal pink and pool party for her color trio. Dessert option this week is metallic.
I thought these colors were perfect for a Christmas card. I even had the designer paper with the challenge colors. I don't have petal pink cardstock so I subbed blushing bride.
I went with a fun fold for my card - it's called the split panel fold. The panels are joined together with an acetate window sheet. I didn't see a tutorial on SCS for this fold. But I did make a card using this fold before. You can find the tutorial on this Blog post. If you like watching videos I found one on YouTube from Wow NOLA Creations. There are link issues so I couldn't link to her YouTube site.
Used the Stampin'-Up set poinsettia petals and coordinating dies for my card. For the scalloped edge I used an old Stampin'-Up punch.
Cut the poinsettia in blushing bride and the leaves are mint macaron. I sponged them to get a deeper shade. For the poinsettia center I used some beaded pearls from Stampin'-Up.
I cut another leaf and stamped my Christmas sentiment to complete my card. To get the pool party color in there I scattered a few enamel dots. They were white and I colored them with a pool party Stampin' blend.
That's my sample for this week. Hope you can play along with us. Karen has chosen some great colors for your card making.
