Samantha created a beautiful card in lovely shades of green!


Samantha began her study in green by water-coloring with Distress Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade.


Next, she die-cut the Stitched Poinsettia leaves from Cilantro cardstock, inking each leaf with more Pine Needles Distress ink. She also cut more leaves from vellum to let the background colors show through. She arranged the leaves in a wreath design before adding machine stitching.


Last, Samantha added a white embossed greeting from Mice on Ice!

Thank you for sharing this amazing inspiration, Samantha!

Remember, this is a 3-week challenge! You have another week to play with monochromatic colors and enter the challenge!

Samantha joins us today to share a gorgeous Christmas card!

Samantha cut the Stitched Poinsettia and Stitched Mug Frame from white cardstock so she could add color with Distress inks! She first did a watercolor wash then she blended on more ink to add vibrancy to the color! She made a fun shaker element by adding acetate to the mug and filling it with clear and silver sequins!

I love the details that Samantha added to this gorgeous design; the splatters on the mug frame and poinsettias and the pattern in the background with Simple Stripes: Diagonal! She also included a sentiment from Window Scene: Winter!

This card is so beautiful, Samantha! Thank you for inspiring with us today!

Happy crafting, friends!
