Classy Colour (CCMC175)
Colour challenge time at Create with Connie and Mary! This was a hard on for me but I decided to give it a go with a holiday card.
I started with a Cherry Cobbler base and layered it with Basic Black and then More Mustard. I stamped this layer with all the various sentiments from Many Merry Messages. This is a fun and simple way to make a great holiday background.
Next, i added a vertical panel of Basic Black on which I added some Cherry Cobbler striped grosgrain held in place by two gold glimmer brads.
The focal panel is Basic Black layered with a scallop rectangle cut out with my Big Shot and the Clearlit. On it, I stamped a snowflake from Snow Swirled and sponged the edges. I then added, with a dimensional, an embossed ornament from Tree Trimmings.
Under that, I added a sentiment from Christmas Lodge which was done using my Stampin’ Write markers.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you’ll head over to Create with Connie and Mary and play along!

Oh Carrie…love how the ornament hangs down between the words…very clever! Great job with the color combo!
Oooh … this is a tricky combo … but you have done a fantastic job with it. Love that stamped background idea! Hugs xxx
This is a great card, Carrie. I have created a collage of “Celebrate” in the past – but I love your idea using holiday words…gotta keep that in mind! I love how you’ve worked these colours and especially those two glimmery brads at the top of the ribbon.
Very cute use of the Clearlits and I like how you stamped the snowflake as a little mini background!
Love your little focal point with the clearlit and the embossed ornament! Such a creative placement of the sentiment too…just a fabulous card Carrie!
