52 CCT - Colour Challenge

By
Good afternoon everyone, how do you fancy a colour challenge today? Well over on the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown we have a fabulous colour combination for you - take a look


And here is my card


I used white card stock for my base and inked up the Three wise Men stamp from Come to Bethlehem in Chocolate Chip ink - I removed the ink from the star and inked that with Versamark. After stamping I added clear embossing powder to the star and heat embossed it. My background was created by sponging my yellow ink and using torn copy paper to make hills. The foreground was inked with more of the chocolate chip ink.
Here are a couple of close ups




Materials
Stamps: Come to Bethlehem
Ink: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Versamark
Card Stock: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Sponges, Clear Embossing Powder
(All items are Stampin' Up - to place an order for any of the products in the Annual Catalogue or new Spring/Summer Mini please see the details in the top tabs - thank you).

Please do pop over and take a look at all the fab DT cards this week and I promise I did not see Danielle's card before I did mine - honest! - Jacqueline xx

    Hi Jacqueline - creative minds think alike don't they? But I must admit that I am so envious of how much more gorgeous your card is than mine. I love all the fabulous elements you've incorporated - the sponging, the paper shaping - so gorgoeous. You really made my color combo look terrific!

    P.S. congrats on your Liebster Award nomination from Kylie. A well deserved honor :o)

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.

However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
