Teal Christmas
Hello all. Today I'm sharing a card for this weeks challenge at Catch the Bug. The first Saturday of each month is Anything Goes! So to get a jump start on this year's Christmas Cards, I made this:
I'm featuring Bugaboo Stamps Christmas Trio Blocks - only using one block. The background is a paint sample swiped from Home Depot long ago when deciding on paint for my living room. The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kit and the die cut is Sizzix. So join in this week!

OMG!!! You rock. I have taken samples but not even thinking of the groups of 4 shades.....how dog gone clever. I see everyone using these strings. How do you get them to keep their shape? It's very cool and I LOVE your card; however, I'm not ready to start on Christmas...haha You should be finishing up touches for one little lady's birthday party....haha
ReplyDeleteLovely! and clever! I've entered a few challenges in the past where the challenge was to use paint chips from the store. I once made them the base for a whole mini album!
ReplyDeleteThe teal is gorgeous, and I love your card.

ReplyDeleteHi Lola, boy do I like this card, the colours rock and of course the Bugaboo image is too cute. Wonderful colouring and good for you on completing your first Christmas card of the 2017 season :O)! I'm also trying to do this, have got one card done but have not published it yet.
