Our fearless leader Nancy had the honors of choosing our final color pairing of 2025. She has chosen the colors of Teal and Silver for as her Color Hues duo and I think it's the perfect holiday combination. I added only white (an approved neutral) to make mine a trio and I think it's my favorite color challenge of the year.
I used a stitching die to create my background panel but opted not to pull out any thread. I die cut my sleigh, trees and gifts in the three colors and arranged them to fit onto my card front. The sentiment was stacked four layers thick for some extra presence and I used a combination of gems and pearls as the finishing accents. I honestly love the way this turned out, if I may say so myself.
Supplies:
Spellbinders - Stitched Argyle Background die
Hero Arts - Santa's Sleigh die set
Ellen Hutson - Merry and Bright die set
MFT - Mirror Silver cardstock
I do hope you'll visit our blog and join us for this beautful challenge. Thanks so much for visiting!

What no stitching, that's my girl! The stitching die does the work and looks fantastic! Love your solver and white sleigh too! Beautiful and festive my friend! xo
ReplyDeleteYour die cut panel has just the right amount of texture without the addition of thread, so a good call I think. It forms the perfect backdrop to your sleigh scene. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, Jules! Love the white sleigh and silver trees! This is one of my favs of yours yet again. You are on a roll.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching panel adds so much interest and makes the perfect backdrop for your lovely present-filled sleigh. Beautiful card Jules!
ReplyDeleteYour lovely sleigh full of gifts makes one elegant Christmas card! The embossing folder needed no stitching, and I love your silver trees and holly leaves. No wonder you're pleased with this lovely card!

ReplyDeleteI'm bundling up for a ride in your beautiful teal sleigh (I'll squeeze in among the gifts) through the pretty silver and white forest. The stitched background is such an eye-catching touch. In a word: gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteJules, I can see why you love how this turned out, it is simply stunning, especially using white for the sleigh! The filigree of the silver runners gives the sleigh even more elegance. What a gorgeous card!
