Color Hues Challenge #122 - Teal and Silver - Joyful Wishes and Merry Christmas Ornaments (BetterPress Society)

Hello,

Mid-November already - and time for Colour Hues Challenge #122. For the next two weeks, Nancy, our hostess, invites us to play with hues of Teal and Silver. Such a beautiful combination, especially with the Christmas season but a blink away.

We're delighted to have two guest designers joining us: Loll and Joanne.

I used one of my recent BetterPress Society plates and dies for this challenge, glimmer foiling it first in silver, then teal. After die-cutting, I simply mixed and matched the combination, netting me a pretty twofer of quick cards to add to the collection I'll be sharing with my mom's care-giver.

Please head to the main blog to see the fabulous cards created by Loll, Joanne and my talented teammates.

Looking forward to seeing your Teal and Silver creations filling the gallery.

The challenge will be open until November 29th. 

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge, and the overall

 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Thank you for dropping by!

Lots of possibilities!

My card features a Richard Garay knit embossed background paired with Simply Stated Design's pretty coffee-drinking, book-reading girl (she so resembles my niece) who looks quite cozy and stylish in her chunky knit seater. A couple additional pieces of ephemera - the mug and coffee heart - round out the 'Warm Wishes'.
