Stumble It!
Baroque Christmas
Blogger's challenge Friday! Our challenge was to use non- traditional Christmas colors. I really don't like the colors in the picture. It is pretty in real life. Really! I used elegant eggplant, old olive, and certainly celery. I embossed the baroque motif set in white embossing powder, and used alcohol with the inks to create a watercolor look. The sentiment is from the new Holidays and wishes stamp set.
Please take a look at all the other talented ladies in our challenge group. Their links are in my sidebar.
Merry Christmas!
Wow, this is gorgeous Maggie! I love the colors and the velvet ribbon looks so rich!

Maggie, This is lovely indeed. Great color scheme. I'll have to try your technique with the alcohol & ink to create a watercolor feel. Thanks to for answering the "tag" challenge. Ida

Very neat card...love the contrast of hemp and velvet...plus the softness of the background.
