Around the World on Wednesday – November 2023

Welcome to November’s Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) Blog Hop! Our theme for October is a “Color Challenge”. The AWOW Blog Hop team has come up with some amazing projects with their interpretation of this theme!

Below is the color challenge Photo for this month’s theme. While I love all the Autumn colors and creating Autumn projects, I’m currently focusing on Christmas cards. So I pulled the beautiful blue, gold, red and gray to include on my Christmas card project.

My project features Balmy Blue, Wild Wheat, Real Red, and Pebbled Path. It also features the Beary Cute Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, the Walk In The Forrest DSP, and the Garden Walk DSP from the 2023 September – December Mini Catalog.

Paper:

• 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” Balmy Blue cardstock scored and folded at 4 1/4” (card base)
• 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” Walk In The Forrest DSP (Balmy Blue with snowflakes)
• 2 1/2” x 2 1/2” Garden Walk DSP (Wild Wheat stripes)
