Barbara is our hostess for this week's CC857. She has selected Merry Merlot, Just Jade, and Fresh Freesia with the Dessert Option of using a stencil.
Barbara's colors stumped me and I changed my design several times incorporating different variations of stenciling and finally settled on the polka-dot strip. The colors in the Christmas bauble also changed a few times too, lol! Unfortunately I ran out of time to recreate. Thank you Barbara for putting me to the challenge, it wasn't easy but it was fun!
We hope you all join in the challenge this week. We the team are excited to see how you have used this week's colors! Thank you for taking a look!

This is really pretty LeAnn - sometimes when we get stumped on the colors the best cards are the result. I think that's what happened here. Looks like we both had the Christmas idea

That's a beautiful ornament die -- love the tree design in the middle -- and you created a beautiful card with it and this week's colors. You don't look stumped at all. Great card.

Super Cute, LeAnn! The black bg causes these colors to Shine Beautifully! It amazes me how different colors look with either a dark or a light bg. The gems, pretty ribbon and embossed sentiment add to the Christmas feel~

Lovely Christmas card, LeAnn. I really like that tree bauble die cut. It really dresses up your card. It is a very elegant sparkly Christmasy card against the black background.
