Colour Challenge Fun with Christmas Greenery

This week’s colour challenge had me crafting way outside my usual festive zone — Basic Black, Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, and Blueberry Bushel. And let me tell you… these colours surprised me in the BEST way! 😍

I pulled out the Christmas Greenery goodies and built a warm woodland scene full of texture, bold blooms, and a sweet little deer who is 100% judging my glue habits. (It’s fine. We’re fine. 😂) Let’s take a stroll through the meadow together!

🌿 Basic Steps to Create This Card

1️⃣ Start with Your Base

Use Basic Black cardstock for your card base — it frames everything beautifully and makes those colours pop like popcorn on movie night. and another layer of black to create a mat

2️⃣ Build Your Background

Grab a nature-inspired DSP from beautiful gallery for the sky and meadow.
Adhere it to the card base,

3️⃣ Add Your Blooms

Stamp your Poppy Parade florals a few times on white card stock the same size of your DSP
Dip a block into ink pad and spray or drip some water on it then use a paint brush in and paint the stamped images, repeat for colours, crumb cake, poppy parade, and blueberry bushel.
Fussy cut and Layer it along the bottom edge to create that lush poppy field moment.

4️⃣ Bring in the Star of the Show & Add Your Sentiment

Stamp a simple greeting in Blueberry Bushel on a strip of the DSP used for your background
Stamp, colour and cut your deer image. (I colourd him in another amazing class with mitosu crafts)
Pop your sentiment on dimensionals Adhere your deer on top so he stands proudly in the meadow like he owns the place. 🦌💁‍♂️
Tuck a bit of linen thread or twine behind him for texture.
