52 CCT Colour Challenge


Our colour challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week is to use purple and green. Such a great colour combo!


I have gone with two shades of both colours here - Perfect Plum and Blackberry Bliss combined with Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow. I used the 'rock and roll' technique to ink the stamp - it's not a weird photo defect! The lovely tree stamp is from SU's Wonderland set.

I hope that you will join us in our colour challenge - we love seeing your inspirational cards. Have a great weekend, April x

P.S. I am squeezing my trees through the gates for Parsnip over at Pixie's Snippets Playground. That bear needs a tree to hide up after all the firework frivolity, as does poor Miss Di with her 'grout'.

  2. Hi April! This is just so elegant - and beautiful colours. I giggled about the rock and roll stamping technique - were you jiving round as you stamped? That's a beautiful stamp you used - I do so love that Wonderland set.

    Tee, hee - I can barely hobble to the loo here let alone jive! Parsnip is perched up on of the trees - he says it's a safe lookout post, aw :) Guess he hasn't noticed there's a little pile of twigs growing at the bottom of the tree. Toasted marshmallows might be on the menu later on it seems!

    Hugs

  6. You really rocked this card! pun intended lol. Rock and Roll technique was taught to me at one of the first stampin up parties I attended. It's so nice to see it on a current card in such a beautiful way!
