Peace On Earth–CTD #264

Hey, everyone! It’s Color Throwdown time! This week Broni has this awesome color combo base on an equally awesome inspiration piece!

OK, so although I LOVE this color palette, it SCARED me, LOL! When that happens I tend to go mostly white or another neutral and use the colors as accents—which is what I did today. I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then added a silver metallic layer and another Sweet Tooth card stock layer, both popped up on foam. I stamped one of the snowflakes from LJD Snowflake Splendor on the white layer with Versamark and heat embossed with silver fine detail embossing powder. Then I cut out two of the snowflakes using LJD Snowflake Splendor Die-namics and stamped and embossed them. I stamped the sentiment, from MPD Starry Christmas, with Nightshift Blue ink and tied around some silver cord. I popped the two die-cut snowflakes up on foam and added the a Nightshift Blue button and a Sno Cone button as accent. I didn’t have a Calypso Coral button, so I simply colored a Sweet Tooth button with an R22 Copic. Perfect!

Here’s the inside, with another sentiment from MPD Starry Christmas.
