Brightly Gleaming Christmas - Inspire Create Challenge #052

This time the Inspire Create Challenge is all about colour. I love a colour challenge because it's sometimes colours I wouldn't think to put together just like these.

Both Melon Mambo and  Gorgeous Grape are beautiful and bright colours, as is the Coastal Cabana. I wanted to use them in a way that meant they wouldn't be fighting with each other so I pulled out the brand new Brightly Gleaming stamp set and Punches using Silver Embossing as a neutral background. I love it! I think it worked really well. It's the first time I've used this bundle and I've fallen in love with it.

I stamped and silver embossed the baubles onto Whisper White before colouring in with Stampin Write Markers and punching out.

The holly leaves are from the same set. Stamped and embossed to make a background and the baubles adhered on the front and raised with Dimensionals to create depth. I punched holes in the tops of the baubles and added some Silver Metallic Thread.

I've simply added a Whisper White layer and stamped the inside.

These colours work really well for non-traditional Christmas card colours, don't they?

I hope you like it. Do let me know in the comments.
