The Tuesday Evening Post


Ok, looks like my posts will be evening posts. I was up at 5:00 am with Kai B. But, alas, the challenge wasn't posted until much later. So, I started it this morning, worked on it a little at noon and just finished up. Also, I had to go to Hobby Lobby this evening - they had all kinds of beads on sale! How fun! So, here's my spin on the color challenge. The color combo lent itself perfectly to a Christmas card, of which I need plenty, so I chose Charlie Snowhorse for my image. I colored him as Charlie Horse buried in snow this time, with ornaments hanging off his "arms". He is mounted on nested ovals and oval scallopped in The Three colors - kiwi kiss, pink pirouette (I was out of pretty in pink) and ridinghood red (which I love, even though I was skeptical that these colors were much different than current colors when I first saw them). The card base is ridinghood red layered with pink pirouette, kiwi kiss & basic grey dp (got it in the mail yesterday, isn't it yummy?). I ticket punched the corners and added little pink gems. I tied on a sheer pink ribbon and stamped the sentiment on pirouette pink, oval punched and layered with ridinghood red. Then, just to give this simple card a little something more I added three more little pink gems on the red oval. Hope you enjoy! See you tomorrow for the Wednesday evening post!
