Howdy friends!
I'm coming to you today with one of my absolute favorite types of holiday posts - the CASE Me a Christmas Card series with Michelle Lupton.
If you haven't seen this before, what she does is invite a series of guests to do a mutual CASE - I pick a card of hers, and she picks a card of mine and we use those as our inspiration.
I always prepare for my CASE by scrolling through Michelle's Instagram account - it's beautiful.
This year, something caught my eye as a theme in her account - and that is that she is a master of using analogous color. As I tend to gravitate towards complementary color combos, this intrigued me - because her cards have this really beautiful harmony!
So I selected one of her combos that she uses frequently for holiday cards - and that's blue and green - an analogous color combo I don't use that often - so that's a fun challenge for me!
I chose the fun two piece tree tag die and ink blended them separately with reactive inks - blue, purple, green and a blue green. I lengthened the tag as well with a die cutting trick you will see in my video. I used glitter paper and an alcohol marker to finish the scene.
When you look at this with a little collage I made of the inspiration pieces - I think you'll see how skilled she is in this part of the color wheel in every conceivable medium.
Here is a list of her inspiration cards included in the collage:
