Color Me Monday: I Love the Winter Weather

I love the winter weather... OK, so perhaps I don’t love being in the winter weather, but I do enjoy looking at it. When the world is covered in a blanket of glistening snow and everything is touched with silver, it’s a pretty beautiful thing. Today’s final installment of Color Me Monday celebrates that look with a color combination in Buttercup, Grey Flannel, Outdoor Denim, and Sky. You’ll note that all the colors here are soft, with the exception of punches of Denim, reminiscent of a December nightfall. The Buttercup and Sky stamping (the background of the Winter Cheer card and pennants) are all in second generation, to give just a hint of color.

And just like the outdoors, every piece of artwork today is brushed with silver—the sentiments and snowflakes on the card are created with glitter rub-ons, the One of a Kind card is brushed with pearl paint, and my Mix ‘n’ Mingle clear banner is lavished in Dimensional Elements snowflakes frosted in silver and embossed in silver as well. Makes me want to cozy up for the end of the year!




And speaking of “end,” I did indeed say that this would be the very last post on Color Me Monday. It’s been such fun to experiment with color, share color tricks, and show my artwork and artwork created by my friends and fellow stampers in our art studio. If you’ve enjoyed Color Me Monday each week, then I think you’ll like what I have planned for 2011, too! I’ll be sharing “52 Weeks of Wonder,” a stamping technique every single week. Can’t wait to see you then!

  30. Thank you for your Color Me Mondays; they gave me something exciting to look forward to on an otherwise quite stressful day. I will miss it but you have taught me that change is exciting and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us this year.

    Thank you for the lovely Christmas present of the new Idea Book. I don't know how you keep doing it, but each book is so full of wonderful things: amazing papers, ribbons, buttons, the colors, the artwork. I am SO addicted to this company! My husband says it is better than going drinking. ;-)

    Happy New Year to you and your family. Thank you for everything you do for us. This is the best company with the best products and we love you.

  32. So enjoyed Color ME Monday. I created a color booklet of all you color combinations. I still have the last eight weeks to finish.

    This booklet has been used for card making, cake decorating, home decor and fashion decisions.

    My girlfriend took home to Nevada three pages of your color combinations to her husband for room decor.

    Thank you for providing such a useful tool.

    Can't wait for your next project. I am a follower.
