Week 26 Merry Merlot
Hello and Welcome to week 26 of the Art with Heart Team Australia Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Merry Merlot a lovely rich red wine colour. As we are close to Christmas I thought I would do a Christmas Card so Here it is.
I used the quite Curvy dies and the Poinsettia Petals bundle along with the beautiful Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper which I love so much.
I also used Silver Embossing powder on my poinsettia flower so that it stands out against the darker Merry Merlot. I did find it a little harder to make this card as it's not a colour I find easy to work with. I finished off the front of my card with the Holiday Rhinestones even though they are Cherry Cobbler they seem to match in very well.
My insert was kept very simple once again only adding a layer of Merry Merlot between the 2 layers of Whisper White card and stamping in Merry Merlot ink. I'm sure who ever gets this card will like it.

I agree with you about Merry Merlot being a good colour for Christmas cards. Your card is beautiful Di. The poinsettia looks perfect embossed with the silver
ReplyDeleteWhat an elegant and stylish Christmas card Di! I love the way you've used the curvy dies with the Poinsettia. Thanks for joining the Colour Creations Showcase tonight x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What an amazing product selection! I love these products all together - and Merry Merlot is the perfect colour for complimenting the Plush Poinsettia Vellum! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is not an easy colour to work with, Diane! You've done a great job, though, lightening it with plenty of Whisper White; a lovely crisp colour combo. The flocked paper provides such elegance to your card.
ReplyDeleteI have never used Merry Merlot for Christmas cards, but on seeing yours Diane I can't understand why, as it works perfectly. Your card is lovely. The combination of the Curvy and Poinsettia dies is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOoh, the curvy borders on your card are so lovely. I love the repeated border, and I'm very impressed at how well you've lined them up!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I've never used Merry Merlot for Christmas because it looks fabulous on your card. Great you matching up the curvy dies!
