Every Wednesday a new color scheme to get you started. Thanks grammadeeThis week my inspiration came from a card I saw on YouTube. (spoilers for the Spellbinders Stitchmas Advent Calendar) Sorry I couldn’t find a still image of the card on her IG, but the color scheme is red, white, grey and/or silver. I made a quick sample card: CARDtober Wed 4th by jo.blackford, on Flickr Twist: add some white highlights with gel pen or something sparkly like Stickles.

Thanks joblackford for the video sneak and the inspiration you took from it. This is a colour combo that really pops and i love how you used the doily and gel pen to add depth

It’s a beautiful card and color combination, joblackford . I had a shiny red, silver, and white patterned card stock from my stash that I used for the base of my card. I used Wink of Stella on the matte side of the silver card stock that I used for the die cut 3D bow. The silver card stock had a shimmer.

I always forget about Wink of Stella. Love that extra bit of shine. Thanks for playing along

joblackford thank you for the challenge! I actually bought the Spellbinders advent but I thought Stitchmas was for quilters or something. Now I see it is for cards with some stitching. The example in the video is so pretty. Your card highlights the beauty of this color combo, and how the red pops against the grey and white. scrapnnana so lovely with all the details, stitched outlines, bow, little red embellisments. So glad you had silver, white and red paper on hand as the basis for such a lovely card. I was going to do a leaping deer - grey sky, snow covered white trees, red deer - but then we went on errands and I saw a grey sweater with polar bears in scarves and I knew right away that's what I wanted. Edited to change the color of the back legs - they were really bugging me. They weren't too bad in regular light, but in the scan they didn't look right.

I was sure you stenciled that background and I needed to know what stencil and how you got those awesome fine lines! Beautiful!

Thanks for finding that picture FurryP ! I didn't even think to look on their website. jjpeapea I love a polar bear in a red scarf! Great idea for a card. The red sentiment really pops on there too. Thanks for playing along

This ended up being tan, gray, cream, and red. It's a rainy day. They weren't taken in the best light.

refugeepea those are great! I love them. Neutral with just a pop of bright red. I'm glad you tried it for Halloween. I was started to worry that everyone was going to feel hemmed into doing Christmas cards. (And don't worry, I know all about the struggles with light. We have very little at the best of time and my crafty window is a few feet away from a dark blue wall.)

I don't make them often, so I do them on an as needed basis. The only extras I have are a few birthday and thank you cards.

I got the 12 Days of Stitchmas from my DH, but ended up using a different die.
