This fortnight at Jingle Belles we're creating holiday cards which embrace only the neutral color palette: white, cream, ivory, ecru, black, gray, charcoal, obsidian, brown, tan, kraft, camel, oatmeal, sienna, gold, copper, silver... ok, you get the picture! Use them all together, or chose just one hue and rock the monochromatic design. As long as it's NEUTRAL it's in. Need some texture to replace the missing color? There's burlap, jute, paper bags, cork, chalkboard, sandpaper, lace, metallic papers... so many choices! Here's what I made this week:
I chose to combine a bunch of different neutrals, mostly from the brown family, with accents of silver and white. My focal image is once again an older Ciao Bella patterned paper from Paper Anthology; I've got some copper-enhanced specialty cardstock with silver metallic mats and diecut sentiment; rounding off with a few Eyelet Outlet Snowflake Brads and silver Star Sequins.
Head on over to Jingle Belles to see Stephanie's amazing layery tag creation and link your own Neutral Noel masterpiece.
