November Color Combo with Heather H. (Challenge)

Good morning! Heather here stopping by this morning to share a new Color Combo Challenge with you! Thanks again to everyone who has played along so far - make sure and look for winners and a few featured players at the bottom of this post!


I knew I wanted to use some of the newest release, and decided I would pull out the new Warm Wishes to You set - that is free right now with qualifying $25 purchase. So cute and perfect for this time of year! 


And here is my color inspiration for this month - I loved the calming blues, and the fact that the inspiration even had a cozy mug in it:


I started off by stamping the cut in a soft blue ink, then used some soft grays to stamp in the "warm" and "wishes" words, and a chocolaty color to stamp the color in the cup. I added a little sentiment underneath from the new Tagged: Holiday Cheer stamp set, and the smallest heart from the Warm Wishes to You stamp set in blue to pull it all together.


I trimmed that panel down to fit over a blue scallop rectangle cut with the largest die from Essentials: Audrey Cutaways and did some machine stitching to adhere them together (it ended up a bit uneven thanks to my bobbin jamming...so excuse the messy part in the bottom right corner!). Finished off by layering on an even darker blue pattern paper, and adding a few snowflake sequins and (hard to see in the photos) some sparkly Nuvo drops.


Now - I have a few favorites from the last Color Challenge to feature! We had fewer players this month - but you all knocked it out of the park! 

First up - this soft and dreamy beauty from Rosali - that shimmer and shine and gorgeous layering - wow!


Next - this gorgeous layered floral card from Deepti! I love how happy this card is - just like the focal sentiment!


And finally, I love the vintage feel to this card by Maryam! The background is gorgeous - and the florals are perfect!



>>>RANDOMLY CHOSEN WINNERS<<<

No. 3 | Maryam

Maryam's card has a beautiful background of depth and softness with allows her beautifully colored flowers to take center stage.

And since we had so many gorgeous, colorful entries (and because I just feel like it and one the perks of being the boss at w&w is I can do these things on a whim!) I randomly chose one of the Heather's favorite cards featured above to also win as well!

No. 5 | Rosali
A clean simple card, Rosali still has plenty of impact and interest with all those gloriously shimmery textured leaves.

  3. Beautiful new colors for this month's combo!! Love that warm and cozy cup stamp. I love blues for Christmas colors so this is going to be a fun challenge!

    Huge congratulations to the winners/top picks....they were almost the same list!!! :) (Randomness does funny things sometimes!!! lol...) Rosali's shimmery leaves, Deepti's lovely outline stamping, and Maryam's softly-colored dream of a card are the very ones I would have chosen as Top Picks, also. Absolutely beautiful work, ladies. Very well-deserved honors!!
