Hi Stampers, today we have a color challenge using, Real Red, Garden Green and Very Vanilla. The Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper was a great jumping off point. I then thought, hmm the Toile Christmas stamp set would be a great pairing but wanted to do something different since I have already shared a few cardinal cards with you. What popped into my head was a favorite from last year that I did not use that much but dearly love, Dashing Deer. Combining these two was great as they work so well together. Enjoy our hop and make sure you see all the other beautiful cards our team created today.
The color challenge:
