Christmas Card Challenges #11

This week at Christmas Card Challenges we have a Color Challenge for you.  I love when we get to use non-traditional colors for a Christmas card.

For my card, I used a Basic Black card base.  On the inside of the card I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Wondrous Wreath stamp set in Basic Gray ink.  The layer on the front of the card is Whisper White.  I inked up the inside of the Chicken Wire Embossing Folder from Taylored Expressions with Smoky Slate ink and ran it through the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine.  The Melon Mambo word Joy is cut using the die from the Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies.  I added a few pink rhinestones inside the wire to give it a wee bit of bling.

For all the challenge details and to share your project, visit Christmas Card Challenges.  We'd love to see how you were inspired by the Color Challenge.

The sketch I used is from the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.
