The colours are based on this gorgeous picture:
And here is my take:
I have made a Christmas card and matching door hanger for my eldest daughter using the colours red, tan and brown. I had such fun making these, the colours just speak 'Christmas' to me.
For the card I have used a white linen base, and layered some red bazzill paper with some ribbed kraft card. The kraft card was stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink using a Martha Stewart dotty background stamp. Then randomly stamped stars in Lady bug Red using the little star shape from Waltzingmouse Stamps set Compliments of the Season.
Then using WMS Holiday Labels 14 stamped and embossed in red the spotty frame.
The little gingerbread man from WMS Oven Fresh Gingerbread Joy is clear embossed onto some tan bazzill paper, and his hands and feet are coloured using Promarkers. Gave him a little chocolate lollipop stamped in Walnut Distress Ink.
The sentiment was made with two sentiments from the Frame It set from WMS, added a red flourish from Very Vintage Christmas, and cut using Nestabilities Ovals Small.
Finally layered some red grosgrain ribbon over the kraft card and added a red spotty grosgrain bow to the top, and added the labels and the tiny gems to the stars.
The door hanger was made in the same way. The template for the hanger was from a shop bought hanger - I just traced and cut!
I have layered the gingerbread man onto a red fabric flower cut in half and added some gems to the centres.
Thanks for stopping by today, I have so enjoyed my first spot as a guest designer, I hope you enjoyed it too! I can't wait to see all your creations, so what are you waiting for?!
Have a great weekend
