Crafty Challenge - December 2023 - Color Inspiration

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 

Today features the below colors inspiring this month's Crafty Challenge. While it is the official day of Christmas, but I've already made my Christmas cards, I thought I'd turn to visions of spring with the  Garden Meadow Bundle! 

The Garden Meadow Designers Series Paper is perfect for today's color challenge incorporating all 4 of the above colors within the design of the paper. 

I'm still in love with the arch opening die cut and I love adding embossing to the layer. I also lightly added craft white ink over the embossing to add some depth and dimensions to the embossing which can be hard to see on the black cardstock.
