Christmas without red or green

This week at Paperplay our challenge is to create a Christmas project 'without using red or green'. Now I've bodged this up spectacularly haven't I? I read it as don't use red and green together! I should have gone to Spec-Savers lol!!



So here's my pink and green creation. I'm entering these challenges:


Recipe:
Green Galore, Whisper White and Pixie Pink card stock and inks, Tag and Eyelet punches, Linen thread, Bold Brights buttons, Perfect Presents and Season of Joy stamp sets.

So this is made entirely with Stampin' Up products and I got messy making it too - great fun. I stamped the white trees with Versamark on white card and heat embossed with white powder before sponging over green ink. The third tree was stamped with Craft white ink on pink card. I love this little tag stamp and it matches perfectly with the two sized tag punches which are on offer at the moment. Spend £45 or more on products from the Christmas Extravaganza and get one or both for free! Contact me for details.

I finished it off using a border punch, some buttons and linen thread and some swirls stamped in green. It looks brighter than this but it was a bit dull when I took the photo.

CHARITY CANDY****

Don't forget there's still time to enter my Charity Candy, the draw closes on 9th December but you have until 16th December to get your handmade cards and gifts to me. I have nearly 300 entries so far - would be fantastic to get that to 400 for a very worthy charity. You can see all the details here.

Thanks
Victoria

    Beautiful card Victoria, pink and green is so much prettier than red and green and the Christmas trees are stunning! I'm sorry I've not been around much this week a combination of not feeling well and soldering on with work! Hope all OK with you and the boys :) Donna x
