For a smile this afternoon I'm sharing another of my Zygote flowers... I love this colour... And I'm back with a card for the CAS Christmas November challenge - Non Traditional Colours... I've chosen aqua/teal with gold.
For the tree background I blended two shades of blue Distress Inks on white card and when this was dry stamped the swirly tree and embossed with gold EP. On a white panel I used a non-matching Christmas tree to die cut an opening and ran the corner through the Cuttlebug with a swirl design... it ended up being on the reverse side but I didn't mind. I attached the stamped piece behind the cutout and then used a teal coloured card to create a thin border and attached a white card. To finish I added a die cut 'Joy' from old gold coloured card and white Nuvo drops on the tree.
Thanks for stopping by my blog -- have a Happy Day and stay safe.

ReplyDeleteThe teal and gold combination is so pretty, Robyn! Using a die-cut opening for the tree is a great idea. The swirl impression is subtle and elegant!
