Exciting news to share!! I applied and was accepted to be on the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge blog design team! December 21st is my first official inspiration project for them.
The prompt is to use any previous 52 CCT challenge as your final Christmas card for 2019. I decided to go back to June 8th's color palette of gray, white, pink, and kraft (and I've gold too since it is so close to my other kraft/beige tones):
Above: the badge for the current challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown
Design notes:
a. kraft paper base
b. Martha Stewart Christmas 6" x 6" 2018 paper pad [top, middle, bottom scrap strips]
c. My Mind's Eye papers scrap strips [2nd and 4th; the pinkish tone prints]
d. Bo Bunny die-cuts: poinsettia, poinsettia print little tag, and sandy looking snowflake half
e. journal announcement card I think is from one of American Crafts' designer lines
f. other embellishments are from my supply boxes
