Color Dare #71 - Ponderosa Pine & Cranberry

Hi, welcome to the Color Dare. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am visiting with family and having a relaxing time. Here are the winners from last week:

Haley D. wins the Color Dare Diamond!


Jody Gustafson wins the Color Dare Emerald!


Katrina wins the Color Dare Ruby!


Dawn Cortner wins the Color Dare Sapphire!


Congrats, ladies! Please grab your badges from the top tab and display them proudly on your blogs!

This week's colors are complementary, traditional Christmas colors:

Ponderosa Pine
Cranberry

I made a traditional Christmas card using the sketch from Atlantic Hearts. You can read more about it in my blog.

Lesson: Complementary colors are colors that sit across from each other on the color wheel. They are usually bold colors that are very festive, which is why they are great for holidays. In this case we are using darker shades of red and green.

Our guest designer is Dawn Cortner. Go to her blog to check out her beautiful cards! Here is the jar topper she created:
