Different colors on Christmas Cards

Hello crafty souls Ulrika here!

If you have followed my work here at Wild Orchid Crafts you know I really love playing with different colors and color combinations! I enjoy to be a bit untraditional when it comes to colors! Today I have two different Christmas cards to show you. One in blue, green and white and one in gold, purple/lilac and beige. 

This card has many layers with papers, die-cuts and flowers! 

Different shades of blue with a little bit of green and white looks really fresh!

To add a little bit more wintery feeling I used fake snow on my flowers and on some parts of my card.

I really love gold! I think it looks really fancy with the purple/lilac colors with the gold details. 

A little bit of gold glitter Stickles on my flowers tie together the flowers with the other gold embellishments in a nice way.

Thank you for visiting the Wold Orchid Craft blog today! I will see you here again after Christmas so I wish you a warm and loving Christmas! Hugs from Ulrika!

Some ATC in bold colors

Hello all crafty souls!

Hope you will have a wonderful weekend! Today I want to share some cool ATC with you. One thing I really like with this hobby is to combine different colors. I´ll get really happy when I put together stunning flowers in excactly the right color combination. On my ATC today I used really strong and bold colors. I also painted some of my flowers with black Gesso to get a good foundation for the Metallique Wax I used. 

 For the faces I used moulds and paper clay. When the faces was dry I painted them with black Gesso and added Metallique Wax Vintage Gold from Prima.

 Behind the faces, or maybe masks are a more correct word for them, I added feathers in black and purple. I also used sissal in gold. Below the sissal I used beautiful metal frames or plaquettes from Wild Orchid Crafts. Around the flowers I used Micro Beads from 13arts and some mica flakes in purple also from 13arts. To get some sparkle I used loose glitter from Prima Finnabair.

 From Wild Orchid Crafts I used Purple Open Roses 10mm. I painted some flowers with black Gesso. The black flowers that I painted are Cherry Blossoms, Sweetheart Blossoms Flowers and Open Roses in the size10 mm. Then I added the Vintage Gold Wax from Prima on all flowers.

Thank you for visiting the Wild Orchid Blog today!

Hugs from Ulrika!
