Hi and welcome! You're just in time for a colour challenge and this week Patrice picked gold and two of Stampin' Up's gorgeous 2021-2023 in colours to play with.
I chose to make a simple Christmas card and love how it turned out.
The polished pink card on its own was a little paler than I wanted, so I darkened it by sponging the matching ink over the squares once I'd done my gold embossing (the embossing resists the ink). I also wanted different shades of soft succulent for my wreath to add depth, so I punched some from 'raw' cardstock, some from card I had sponged over with the co-ordinating ink and some I had coloured with the matching Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.
I don't often use pink for Christmas cards but I love this combo, it's a softer yet still elegant alternative to red and green.

What a fabulous card, Kerry. I love your colour choice..
A great card Kerry. I love the way you have worked with the colours. Cheers from Maureen.
I really like how you used the colours as a Christmas theme, you certainly pulled it off. Sponging the pink colour really makes the card pop with colour. TFS
So pretty Kerry! I love the depth of colour the sponging adds to your squares and embossing. So clever to use these colours for a Christmas card. xx
