Tis The Season Color Challenge : Navy, Sand, and Concord

Hello! I have some super exciting news to share! I have been asked to join the Tis The Season challenge blog design team! I am so thrilled! It's always been my dream to join a design team and this one is right up my alley! I love Christmas. I've said it time and time again! It's my absolute favorite! As I said, Tis The Season is a challenge blog. Every two weeks there is a new challenge. It could be a photo inspiration, a sketch, etc. This week is a color challenge! We are challenging you to use navy, sand, and concord on your project. You can use any products in your stash, but you must create a new Christmas project.

 Are you ready to see my card and video? Here it is!

I used the ever popular watercolor smooshing technique with Distress Inks. My sand color is Antique Linen mixed with a bit of Brushed Corduroy, the concord is Dusty Concord, and the navy is Chipped Sapphire. I smooshed each color onto my work surface, spritzed it with water, and picked it up with some acetate and smooshed the color onto some watercolor cardstock. I did dry my colors with my heat tool before moving on so that the colors didn't mix.

I used a bold sentiment from a Fiskars and Theresa Collins stamp set called "Twas the Night". I stamped it in Versafine Onyx black ink and embossed the sentiment with some Zing! sparkle embossing powder. I spattered the front of my card with some Heidi Swapp color shine spray ink for some added shine. I popped some fun foam behind my watercolor piece and adhered it to a standard top folding A2 Neenah card.

Here's the video:

That's it! I had so much fun with this challenge and I can't wait for the next one! I really encourage you guys to stop over and upload your card to the link up! Just click here to go to the blog! Thanks for stopping by!
