Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! Today's post is a heart happy dance for using a mix of old stash with some new-ish stash items to create this card.
WHAT: The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenges #143 Anything Christmas Goes theme
WHEN: a two-week* long competition starting June 27th (*taking a break in early July; #144 will start July 25)
SHOW and TELL: "Good Tidings" Christmas card
1. Together for Christmas collection by Pink Paislee = the 2 die-cuts, red plaid & blue snowflake cardstocks
2. Colorbok = thick kraft cardstock for base
3. stash = red pearl gems, thread, caramel & blue/white print cardstocks
4. Memento = ladybug red ink pad
this combination of new-ish and older items created a non-traditional color palette Christmas card with hints of country comfort vibes
