ChristmasColors

Hi everyone today over at Hiding In My Craft Room the challenge is the color challenge. This week the challenge is to use Christmas colors. I know most of us think of red and green as being Christmas colors. I also though think of the color purple which is the color of advent which heralds the Christmas season. Of course purple is also my favorite color and I needed an excuse to use the purple glitter paper I've been hoarding.

This week the challenge is being sponsored by The Paper Shelter who graciously provided me with the gingerbread image which is a black and white image. My printer did a weird thing when I was printing and I am totally clueless about where my ink cartridges are. I know they are in a box but which box which is marked "Craft Room".  *Sigh* I also don't know where my pencil sharpener is and some of my color pencils need to be sharpened.




I started my card by adhering down two squares to my base of glitter card which I've been hoarding for a few years now. I printed my image with a red border. I went ahead and also ran my Stazon ink pad of  Blazing Red along the edge to define the edges more. I colored my images.

I've been busy decorating outside and inside. Haven't though had time to create decorations. Although I started one to go on the porch light. My big find was this carriage and horse at a thrift store. It is pretty when lit up.

Thank you for stopping by and do come back next week. In the meantime I'm off to try to find my crafting toys.

Wishing you Happy Frugal Crafting till we meet again!

  2. What a darling image. I, too, like the purple. I love thrift store buys and you certainly scored. I just bought a Precious Moment Christmas figurine for $3. Remember when they were popular and sold for $40? I have a large collection of them that I passed along to Sarah.

  3. Love your horse and carriage.
    The purple is so refreshing for Christmas and who says everything has to be white and red anyway?
    Hugs, Myrna
