Woodland Joy - Color Throwdown #360

~

Hello and happy Wednesday to you all!  You know if it’s Wednesday then it’s time for the latest Color Throwdown challenge!  Monika is our hostess this week with a rich, deep color palette for us:

Yum!  What a lovely color combo: pink, dark blue and black.

I decided to go with a wintery scene and ended up creating my first Christmas card of the year!!  Yay for me!

I created the background by smooshing Versamark through my homemade falling snow stencil onto my watercolor paper and clear embossing  it.  Then I sponged on Picked Raspberry, Tumbled Glass, and Faded Jeans Distress inks and spritzed with some water.  When that was dry I stamped my tree from the lovely WPlus9 Winter Woodland stamp set.  I used the coordinating dies for the deer and bunny, and the JOY is also from that set.  I also used the SSS Stitched Slopes and Hills die for the snowy slope.  I added a few sparkly sequins and that was it!

My layout is from the WPlus9 Get Sketchy #3 challenge:

These colors really do make an awesome winter scene! Love how you embossed the falling snow before sponging!

Boo! Hiss!! No winter for me as I sit here shivering on my sweatshirt. Your card is REALLY pretty, even if I am vetoing the notion of winter. Leave it to you to add sequins to the starry sky, which is exquisite. Sketch is perfection. Hope you've had a wonderful weekend. I cleaned in my studio and it'll last for all the minutes I'm not home...
