Hello Crafters!
We're heading into the last weekend before Christmas and it's pretty much thinly controlled chaos over here.
How about you?
All done shopping because I'm sure not.
One year I'll have my ish together.
Maybe.
Anyway, today's post is a fun one. Have you seen Michelle Lupton's Christmas card Challenge?
Last year she did the challenge but she picked the theme. Mine was Glow in the dark and you can see that video here.
This year I picked the challenge! I decided on Black, White and a Pop color. With the thought of using flowers. Of course. I wanted to use flowers.
Then I realized Christmas is quickly approaching and I have been sitting on these cute puppies since like October.
I thought I could make it work and turns out I was right. I did have to use two types of grays which might be a little bit of a cheat but I needed to be able to color white so I'm not sorry.
To keep it a little more interesting I did a few different types of dogs, colors and textures. Adding the red was basically terrifying. I mean EVERYTHING was white and then I had to add red. It was substantially more stressful than originally anticipated.
I did a video but then ran out of time to voice it over. I'll get there sometime tonight I promise.
And finally got that voice over done. Check out the video below.
Please stop over and see Michelle's beautiful take on the challenge because she did indeed use flowers and they are amazing.
Thank you Michelle for inviting me to play along!
I just love you :)
and thank you guys for stopping by!
See you soon.
