Bright Hopes for Christmas

By
It's time for another colour challenge over on 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - they are pretty funky and not very traditional - but still very workable


Here is my card


This is a totally different approach for me as I have used MDS - My Digital Studio. It's Stampin' Up's digital card/scrapbooking program and it comes with loads of stuff.
I'm still working my way around it - believe me I am such a techno-phobe - and this is my first finished piece.
I printed off a piece of decorative paper with some snowflakes on - the snowflakes are in the Bright Hopes collection and I was able to colour them in Stampin' Up colours: Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Regal Rose and Garden Green.
I then printed off the main panel - the sentiment was digital too. I had a few offcuts of DSP so I cut out some snowflakes and added a few gems. It was printed on to Whisper White card stock and I used Garden Green for my mats.
I'm not sure that I shall be doing all my cards this way but it got me quick results for this challenge!
Thanks for looking - see you soon xx

    I'm very impressed that you've used the Digital Studio! Great layout, super paper and I do like the tiny snowflakes added - they give great dimension.

    If you are a technophobe there really is no hope for me! I honestly thought this was stamped. It's a great way to use all the colours of the challenge, a real fun and funky card.

    I am impressed, Jacqueline. Never would have guessed this is not stamped! It's awesome, the colours is pretty and who can resist a snowflake or two! Have a lovely weekend.

    A terrific hybrid card! The nice thing about digital is that you can move around and resize as many times as you want without wasting paper. Gorgeous use of colors and a fun nontraditional feel.

    Jacqueline, this is a wonderful digital card, it certainly looks like you've got to grips with the technology! Great use of those non traditional colours and I love the sentiment layered over that beautiful snowflake!

    Thank you SO much for having me on the DT at 52 {C}CT, I've learned so much and definitely grown as a crafter, I really appreciate the opportunity!

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

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
