Here's this month's colour combination:
And here's the project it inspired:
September might be too early for Christmas for some people, but as crafters we know the earlier we start the more likely it is we'll be done in time! This card uses classic colours to send a simple festive greeting.
A strip of Distressed Gold 12" x 12" Specialty Paper was mounted on a wider Shaded Spruce Cardstock strip, and adhered to a Cherry Cobbler Cardstock layer. The "Noel" image from the Joy of Noel Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped in Shaded Spruce Classic Ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock and cut out using the largest tag die from the Tailor Made Tags Dies. The tag was added to the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock layer, with the bottom of the tag layered over the Distressed Gold strip and raised up using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Four evergreen branches were die cut from Shaded Spruce Cardstock using the foliage die from the coordinating Joy of Noel Dies. Starting from the left hand side, the four die cut branches were layered to form an arc in the top left corner of the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock layer, arranging it so that the arc overlapped with the top of the tag. The top of the card was trimmed to remove any of the last die cut that was left overhanging. Gold Festive Pearls were added to the branches as a final embellishment, and the whole card front was adhered to a Shaded Spruce card base.
