Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop where we have a colour palette/picture to inspire us. I have taken the colours and used them with the Festive Cheer stamp set to make a clean and simple Christmas card.
Colours used in making this card:
I created the festive Christmas card using the following supplies:
Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Garden Green – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
I began by stamping the sentiment with Garden Green ink in the lower left corner of the smaller panel of Basic White card.

The outline diamond shaped bauble was then stamped with Azure Afternoon and the infill added in 2nd generation Azure Afternoon ink. The larger ornament was then stamped with Real Red ink, the outline in full strength and the infill in 2nd generation. The third bauble was stamped with Garden Green in the same way.

I added the bauble hangers and hanging strings to each bulb with Smoky Slate ink and finished with a bow on the middle bauble.

A scattering of ‘snowflakes’ were stamped with 2nd generation Lemon Lime ink around the baubles.

I rounded the upper right corner of the stamped panel, the Garden Green layer and the Azure Afternoon card base using a retired corner rounder, before adhering them together.
