December Color challenge: Hygge

Sarah (sterkeurs) here and the final Color Challenge of this year is inspired by Scandinavian Christmas Hygge (pronounced hoo-guh)! I always strive to decorate with a more neutral palette and natural materials like wood, cotton, and glass. I am not sure that I’ll ever fully get there, however, the coziness of Hygge is the inspiration for this month’s Color Challenge.

Joanne (jcaruth910) is such a master at brushwork and her gorgeous page is perfect for this Challenge. I adore the seasonal foliage at the top and the delicate brushwork behind the photo.

Products used:Frosted Christmas paper pack, Seasons Sparkles Element Pack, ARTpack Juniper Pine Brushes 1, Holiday Foliage Layered Edgers 2, Fine Lines Border Lines Brushes 14

Kathy (Blackkathy) created this absolutely festive page showcasing some beautiful Christmas ornaments. So many gorgeous layers and such a great combination of elements.
