GDP561 Colour Challenge: A Soft and Pretty Christmas Card

Iโ€™m playing along with this weekโ€™s Global Design Project colour challenge #GDP561, and I have to sayโ€ฆ these colours are just gorgeous together!

This weekโ€™s colour combination is Hydrangea Hue, Soft Sea Foam and Peaceful Pine, and I thought they would make a beautiful, slightly unexpected Christmas colour palette.

Iโ€™m trying to get a head start on my Christmas cards, so I reached for the simple and lovely Hope Love & Joy Bundle to create this sweet Christmas card.

I started with a Hydrangea Hue card base, stamped with Hydrangea Hue snowflakes for a subtle background. I then added a torn strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock across the middle, with a Basic White strip layered over top.

For the sentiment, I stamped the J and Y in Peaceful Pine, while the “O” is actually a Hydrangea Hue snowflake! I love finding little ways to make a simple card more interesting.

A bit of Peaceful Pine ribbon and the gorgeous Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes finished it off perfectly.

And speaking of those snowflakesโ€ฆ they are currently available through the Stampinโ€™ Up! demonstrator preorder! If youโ€™d love early access to new products and all sorts of fabulous preorder goodies, Iโ€™d love to have you join my team, Ink Pad Pals – see below for more details.

I hope this Global Design Project colour challenge inspires you to create your own project for #GDP561. Grab your crafting supplies and join the fun!
