Very Merry Christmas - Color Throwdown 365

~

Hello and happy Wednesday!  Today it’s my turn to be the Color Throwdown hostess!

I chose a bold and bright color combo: Fuchsia, Red, Black and White

Beautiful shoes….but I think I’ll stick to my signature flip-flops!

Anyway, I decided I needed to make another Christmas card (my 2nd of this year) since the fuchsia sparkle reminded me of an ornament.

I used my new Christmas Graphic stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.

I didn’t have the perfect fuchsia color in an ink pad, but I did have a Tombow marker (665) that was just the color I wanted.  So I colored the larger tree stamp with the marker, huffed & puffed on it, then stamped it.  I over-stamped the lined tree in SU Real Red then masked the entire tree image.  I stamped the smaller tree in the red, slightly overlapping the larger tree.  The sentiment was stamped in Versafine onyx black ink.

I added Star Dust stickles to the larger tree frame and Glossy Accents as an outline on the smaller tree and to adhere the sequins.

This means the card qualifies for the Addicted to CAS challenge to Add Sparkle:
