I have showcased the Joyous Noel Suite today! And it is an awesome Suite of products. The colors are traditional with a bit of a twist. Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide are the main two I focused on. They are more of a jewel tone than a bright Red and Green of traditional Christmas Colors. After seeing these on today’s card though, I believe I will be using them for non-holiday cards as well.
Peaceful Noel, 147694
To go with the Merry Merlot and TranquilTide, I added Sahara Sand as a soft blending color. The DSP includes Sahara Sand and Gray Granite as the soft colors. Either would be perfect and are equally gorgeous.
COLOR COMBINATION:
The Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper has copper foil details on one side and more traditional paper on the other. For this card I went with the not coppered side. I love the softness of the colors on this particular sheet.
When I noticed the different shades of green in the evergreen sprigs of the paper, I wanted to mimic that as a detail on the focal layer. I inked the stamp with Tranquil Tide, stamped in the corner, then stamped again on each side without re-inking the stamp. I repeated this on opposite corners. I stamped the star design on the opposing corners. I thought it was very cool the dramatically different shades of green from doing that technique. I hope you will give it a try. A note though….it requires a darker color to be able to stamp three times without reinking.
