Merry & Bright: Color Coordinates with Shari Carroll
Welcome to the blog everyone!! It’s Shari here with another Color Coordinates for you. This was a super fun combination to throw in the pink and blue along with traditional Christmas colors. I think it’s a fresh look for the Holidays.
I played around with the ClarityStamp Stencil Brushes to color the Tim Holtz Retro Ornament dies. I have to say… I felt like these were an exceptional way of coloring paper to achieve a blend from white to dark.
I stamped the Holiday Background onto a panel of Fog cardstock with Simon Says Stamp white ink which gave me just a hint of light toned messages and a subtle setting for the brightly colored ornaments.
I filmed the process of how this card was made which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

You have such a great eye for what colour goes where Shari…. these ornaments are stunning, just such a fresh colour palette and those clarity brushes are amazing – you just would not get the same effect if you tried to blend with the blending tool. Beautiful!
Great card and colors. Thanks for sharing.

I have always had difficulty doing non-traditional colors for Christmas but I’m in love with this card. The colors are subtle yet perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card! I love the blending on the ornaments. Every time I see these brushes used, they get moved up higher on my wishlist!
There are a lot of creative ideas posted; can’t really think of a different one. Love all of the dies, especially the corbel heart and the circle of leaves.
Beautiful, fun card! Thank you for the video and coloring tips.
