Striking Aqua Christmas: Create an Elegant Handmade Holiday Card
Hello everyone – today’s card uses a beautiful aqua color to create this Striking Aqua Christmas: Create an Elegant Handmade Holiday Card idea.
It is amazing how many different colors you can find to use for Christmas with various pattern papers. Check out today’s aqua creation for another nontraditional color for Christmas
Today’s Project
I #ShopYourCraftStash looking for pattern paper to use for today’s idea. I ran across a collection from Uniquely Creative and decided to play with it. I began by choosing 3 different patterns. Then I looked at my CutCardStock paper and found coordinating cardstock to use with the paper. The ephemera pack had some great flowers I could use for a focal image. The paper also had a sentiment cut apart sheet so I chose one of them to use on my card.
I loved the wood grain pattern paper and knew it would be perfect as a background for the flowers. Combining patterns is easy when you use the same collection of papers. Check out how using the 3 pattern papers combine to make a great card!
While this paper is designed for Christmas, I have also used it to make this Valentine card. I have also used it to make this all occasion idea.
