Pink & Gold Christmas Magic

Wow, I cannot believe this will be the last color challenge for this year.  This month’s color challenge brings together one of my favorite holiday palettes — soft greens, warm gold tones, and elegant blush pink. It’s a combination that feels fresh, romantic, and perfectly balanced for a Christmas challenge. These colors step away from the traditional bright red-and-green look, offering something that feels calm, warm, and wonderfully magical for the season.

Here’s how to bring the palette to life:

  • Use sage or pine green for your base or foliage clusters

  • Add gold splatters, stars, or metallic elements for sparkle

  • Include blush pink ornaments, bows, or florals as accents

  • Add a gold title like “Holiday Magic,” “Golden Christmas,” or “Blush & Pine Christmas”

  • Try mixing green-painted wood textures with pink paper layers

  • Add greenery clusters with touches of gold thread or confetti
