Good morning! Time for another Inkin’ Hop. The theme challenge this week is a color challenge – imagine that?! Just look at all these wonderful colors.

Notice all those colors for the challenge? They are in the coloring and the Joy of Christmas DSP. The Joy of Noel Bundle is just so wonderful… I love the words, the decorative stamps and the dies. What I did here is stamp the holly & berry ‘spray’ in Memento ink, twice, on Basic White card stock. I always find it easier to color a larger piece than a small one, so I color it then die cut. Make sense? The coloring is done with Stampin’ Blends: Old Olive (both light & dark) for the leaves, Shaded Spruce (both light & dark) for the holly, Light Real Red for the berries sand a bit of Dark Cherry Cobbler for shading on the berries. I die cut these and set them aside to prep the Thick Basic White card base. I caut a piece of the red plaid pattern from the Joy of Christmas DSP and adhered it to the card front. I laid the two die cut ‘spray’ pieces just for placement purposes to know where to stamp the sentiment. After removing them I stamped the sentiment from Joy of Noel stamp set in Real Red ink. I adhered the two die cut ‘spray’s on dimensionals along the top line of the DSP. I scattered some notes & holly from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins package. I stamped the word ‘noel’ on Real Red card stock with Real Red ink, die cut them and adhered them directly to the ‘sprays’. As a final touch, I cut a short length of the Large Check Ribbon in Black & Very vanilla and attached it under the spray with a glue dot. Very cheerful & festive!

For the inside, I took a panel of Basic White card stock and adhered a very narrow strip of the Joy of Christmas DSP near the bottom of the panel. I then stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink, still using the Joy of Noel stamp set. I attached three red gems from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins package with a dob of glue, adhered the panel to the inside of the card and done!

For the envelope, I took another pattern from the Joy of Christmas DSP, adhered it to the flap & trimmed it to fit. On the front I stamped the berry spray in Memento ink, then added Stampin’ Blends in Real Red to the berries. This card is so clean & traditional, friendly & bright. – I really like it.
