Unconventional Christmas Colors

Hello friends!

I am popping in to share a Christmas card with unconventional colors.  

Jasmine Etched Die (Winter Garden)

The Jasmine Etched Dies is part of the Winter Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. Create a sweet Jasmine bouquet complete with stem, stamen, and petal layers for a dimensional floral design with this set of four thin metal cutting dies. Assembled size measures 0.125 x 3.875 x 3.25 in./0.30 x 9.80 x 8.30 cm

To challenge myself, I decided to take a soft color approach.

Since Jasmine flowers are white, I used a few complimentary colors for the overall design.

Once again, I used the Sled die as a backdrop.

The colored Floral Paper Pad is from Scrapbook.com. The Spellbinders Glitter Foam sheets are excellent for adding glitter without a mess.

On a side note, this basic set of foam sheets are a must if you can't decide on colors.

Here are my two cards with the Sled Die background.

Helleborus (Christmas Rose) Etched Dies

is from the Winter Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. This set of six thin metal cutting dies brings a classic beauty to life! The rose when assembled with its foliage, measures 0.375 x 3.00 x 2.25 in./0.90 x 7.60 x 5.70 cm.

 

 As you can see this die set is not your typical Christmas dies, however, it can be easily used as Christmas projects. I used some unconventional colors for the Helleborus (Christmas Rose) Etched Dies.

  For the base of the floral arrangement, I used the Sled Die (super popular!) for the background.

I can see why this Sled Die is sold out everywhere. It can be a focal point on its own or it can serve as a lovely backdrop . 

 The floral assembly is quite easy thanks to the various shapes and sizes.

 The following cards are also part of the July release inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by!
