It's early October and thus time for PINK CHRISTMAS at Jingle Belles; the annual event where we ask YOU to make and link up as many predominantly PINK holiday cards as you possibly can, because Stephanie and I are each going to donate $2 per card to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation!
So what qualifies as a PINK CHRISTMAS card? It's pretty simple: the cards should be newly made, with a winter holiday theme, and they should feature PINK prominently. Does your whole card have to be pink? Certainly not. Can you combine other colors with the pink? Of course!
Should you have more pink than say two or three baubles on your green tree set against a snowy white background? Well, yes... that would be good, lol. But other than that, we'll leave it to you to decide how much pink, what shade, and how to employ it! Can you link up more than one PINK CHRISTMAS card? Yes, indeed, please do!
Here's what I made this week. (Spoiler Alert: it's PINK!)
On a recent family art day, we made watercolor backgrounds and I remembered how much I love the technique in which you add salt to a wet panel of watercolor, and it makes a pattern/texture similar to Jack Frost painting our windows in the winter. This particular panel looked so pretty that I didn't want to cover it up very much, and thus I only added some Wendy Vecchi holly leaves (from last year's Christmas Add-On to her Not Your Ordinary Card Collection) cut from two luscious shades of self-adhesive felt paper; plus a few Eyelet Outlet Snowflake Brads and tiny Pearl Bling. A dark pink mat and a bit of machine stitching complete my A6 card design.
We'd love for you to join us in celebrating PINK CHRISTMAS at Jingle Belles; and of course it's for a very good cause, so start making and linking those PINK holiday cards today! JB2521: I'm Dreaming of a PINK Christmas runs until 6pm (Eastern) on Wednesday, October22nd.
