Dynamic Polar Party!

Hiya,

Exciting news!! I am now a member of the Dynamic Duos design team for the next six months - woohoo!! I love colour challenges so I'm really excited to be able to play along with such a talented group of ladies for these fun challenges. (Apologies for this post being late - it's been a hectic week & weekend and is still going - looking forward to a breather on Monday!) Today's challenge uses two of the new in-colours from SU...

These colours look so Christmassy to me so I pulled out one my favourite sets and got colouring...


I used some Raspberry Ripple dsp from Orchard Harvest for the background as well as some Natural Composition dsp for a neutral touch. I coloured the images with blender pens, markers and inkpads and added some 'snow' spots using dazzling details. The sentiment is from Perfect Punches and I stamped it once in each colour, punched out and layered a circle of raspberry card in between. The banner strip is a combination of silver glimmer paper and Gumball Green ribbon. I used the Merry Monday sketch this week for my layout:


Make sure you check out what the rest of the fabulous design team have created with these fun colours....
 

Thanks for stopping by!
