Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My artsy crafty heart got frustrated over the past few days leading up to the deadline for my design team inspiration card for CHD...ugh! But I put aside a lot of other things tonight that should have been done and made my DT project 3 times!!! Well, 3 variations. Two are same size (4" x 6") and were printed on gold honeycomb cardstock. And the 3rd card has a smaller printed image on white cardstock (3.5" x 5"). I need more Christmas cards within the next 10 days anyway, so hopefully the stress will level out soon (or at least that's my rationale!)
All three cards are on 5" x 7" card dimensions. The white base and gray-taupe base are flat/single layers whereas the deep red is folded. All card bases and their matching envelopes were purchased at The Paper Source website.
Createful Heart Designs Challenge blog and FB group are owned by a husband and wife graphic designer partnership. I chose the Christmas Bells digital image for the #27 December challenge. For participants the theme is Anything Goes. The challenge runs for a month, starting on December 15, 2020 and goes to January 14, 2021.
[A]: CARD #1 (the image is almost colored exactly like #2 except inside of bells has an olive green to help give a tonal connection to the plaid)
********************************
[B]: CARD #2 (the card is colored almost like the previous one except for the interior of the bells are gray to make the tonal connection to the short banner tag on the right)
*****************************
[C]: CARD #3 (this image's coloring hues were changed greatly--branch needles were give a reddish-brown colored pencil foundation layer and then gold glitter paint applied on top; a backdrop of light blue lines surround the image; bells are silver instead of gold as the previous 2 cards; ribbon has purple edging and diamonds with mauve-raspberry pink hue surround)
