Chris is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has given me an opportunity to add one more card to my Christmas stash. Her colors are Berry Burst, Old Olive and Crumb Cake, with the dessert option of adding Gold.
The main inspiration for this card comes from Day 1 of my Taylored Expressions advent calendar. The first gift was a three part stencil set, depicting a group of three gifts. Taylor showed in her intro video how easy it is to add a fourth gift and make the design into a standard card size.
I started with VersaMark and a pouncer and applied the VM ink, then heat embossed with a sparkly gold embossing powder. I added two remaining colors to complete the first three packages. Then I created the fourth gift, using Crumb Cake with the other challenge colors. Stamped the greeting with VersaMark and heat embossed with the same embossing powder. Found the perfect DS paper in my stash, a combo of kraft paper and gold stars. Mounted the DS paper on the Berry Burst card base, then popped up the white panel on foam. Added three gold stars and some sparkle on the bows, and it was done!
These colors are so pretty together! Please join us in this week's challenge and share your creation in the gallery for us all to admire.

Pretty! Love the stenciling. The gold glitter sections and sentiment are fabulous. The paper is terrific and it worked out so right to have stars along the edge. Beautifully done with the challenge colors!
