For Color Challenge 862...
Our gorgeous colors for this week are Real Red, Garden Green, and Cinnamon Cider.
I struggled a little with this one for a few reasons: I donât make a lot of Christmas cards, and I rarely use red and green together (I love lime but donât have many other greens). And the worst travesty of all is that I didnât have any Cinnamon Cider, which I have discovered is the most beautiful color, so I will be ordering some of that soon! I didnât even have anything close to it.
So as you can see, I went with a mostly red card. I did sneak in some green sequins, and a little strip below my sentiment which is a lovely rose gold shimmer paper - my Cinnamon Cider cheat. :-)
Anyway, this is a beautiful color combination, especially when the dessert is Christmas! So I hope you will join us this week and show me all that gorgeous cider color you have!
Thank you for looking!

Wow, this is gorgeous. Beautiful white vellum poinsettia. I like the red and white focus with touches of green and cinnamon "cheat" or substitution. Love that embossed background. Your write-up was inspiring and fun to read. Great card.
