Hello everyone!! The Color Challenge on Splitcoast today was hosted by Betty (gbedwright) and her colors were Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, and Neutrals of choice. These are perfect colors for a Christmas card!!
I stamped the Red Lead Paperworks image with Chocolate chip onto vanilla cs and colored it with a combo of copics, chalk, and markers. The chipboard frame from the same company was colored with a Real Red marker and sanded for a little texture. In the picture it looks like velvet!!! It was layered on the wood flourishes and silk May Arts Ribbon and gold pearls finish it off.

I worked on this 4 challenge card for over 2 hours this afternoon!! I kept forgetting what the challenge requirements were and had to redo a few things...hope I got it right!!!
This is for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge. Mairlynn picked out a beautiful cardinal teapot for us to find inspiration from. She also wanted us to create something we were thankful for...I am thankful for the reason we celebrate Christmas and for all God's creations. This is also for the DDC challenge hosted the Sweet Miss Anne (Itsapassion) to use a button and plaid on our card.
I used the Moonlight Madness sketch and also made a masterboard of the plaid background as required by the Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential challenge. The Rubbernecker Christmas Tree and Cardinal images were colored with copics and a Martha Stewart punch was used for the ferns. The Prima poinsettia and ribbon with twine finished it off.
