Color Hues Challenge #76 - Red and Metallic Gold - Merry Christmas Bells (Alex Syberia)

Hello, 

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #78, where our lovely Jules has selected hues of Red and Metallic Gold as inspiration for the next two weeks. This combination certainly fits with Christmas but, as you'll see, some of the team have gone in different directions. Lots of possibilities...

We're delighted to have Claire joining us for this challenge.

Another Alex Syberia Designs set came out to play - Jingle Bell Joy -  and ohmystars! The bells + foliage + bows (Pretty Bows) make for a lovely combination, especially when paired with the Sparkly Flakes cover die. I made this card a couple weeks back and, as you can guess, I've made several more. They'll be heading (along with a few poinsettia cards) to my mom's companion/care-giver for her to share with family/friends. Fingers crossed she'll like them.  


Looking forward to seeing how Red and Metallic Gold inspire you.

The challenge will be open until November 28th @ 9 AM EST!

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge goes live.
The overall winner will have the opportunity to be a
future Guest Designer!
Thank you for dropping by!
