Watercooler Challenges #13

It's time for a new challenge here at Watercooler Challenges.  With Christmas just over a month away, our challenge this week is to create something with a Christmas theme.  I totally love the new Gentle Peace photopolymer stamp set from Stampin' Up!®  This time I stamped the image onto Very Vanilla using Elegant Eggplant ink.  I love how it pops against the Elegant Eggplant card, the Gold Foil and the Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon.

It wasn't until I had it all done that I realized I had used a retired embossing folder.  My suggestion would be to use the Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder found on page 227 of the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog.  I substituted it in the list of products found below.  Looks like I need to put that on my next order so I have it on hand.  :-)


Stamp Set:  Gentle Peace; Ink:  Elegant Eggplant; Card Stock:  Elegant Eggplant, Gold Foil Sheets, Very Vanilla; Accessories & Tools:  Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder (retired), Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon, Glue Dots, Sticky Strip, Dimensionals, Paper Snips, Stampin' Trimmer

The design is a CASE (Case And Share Everything)from Monica Weaver.  I don't use metal sheets but the Gold Foil sure makes for a pretty layer on the Elegant Eggplant.

So, now it's your turn to show us what you are creating for Christmas.  Just link up your project to the Watercooler Challenges blog HERE.

Thanks for stopping in at the Coffee Pot Stamping Cafe,

Marsha

    What a beautiful card, Marsha. We're all into non-traditional colours this time around, I see. The ones you've chosen for this card are so elegant and really emphasize the simplicity (and beauty) of the centre image. Thanks so much for sharing.
