52 Christmas Card Throwdown - 14.2023

My Christmas stash is still growing thanks to 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.  Today's challenge is red and green.

After stamping the images from SSS's Winter Flowers, I heat embossed in clear.   I was inspired by a friend to use my Inktense pencils to color them.  The panel was cut with The Greetery's Nordic Frames and splattered with Distress Ink.  The sentiment is from Penny Black. 

In case this isn't red enough, I have another card using Altenew watercolors.

Same heat embossed images on watercolor paper, placed on a panel cut with an Altenew Mix and Match Frame to let the red cs show through.

Christmas Kickstart #67

I'm going to call this Christmas Headstart instead of Christmas Kickstart which is where this card is headed.  I have all my cards ready for this year but I keep making them so I have a start on next year's stash.

The Altenew Festive Poinsettia was heat embossed in gold and painted with Altenew watercolors. Their gold metallic watercolor was spattered on SU's Subtle embossed background and a foiled sentiment from Spellbinders was altered to pop on top.

Color Hues #36

My heart is breaking as I watch what is happening in Ukraine.  No country or its people should have to bear the pain and suffering inflicted by a power hungry dictator.  My prayers are with the leader and all its citizens who are fighting for their freedom.

Color Hues has decided to make a double color challenge to include the Ukrainian colors of yellow and blue.  This wonderful card community is showing its support in full force by inundating the internet with cards in those colors.  Here's mine.

I started with the Mondo Sakura from EbyE, watercolored with Altenew paint.  The background is the only blue paper I had with me  (whew) and it's embossed with a coverplate by HoneyBee.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Thanks for dropping by today.  I hope you will think of making a card in support of Ukraine if you haven't already.
