More Than Autumn - Real Red

 

More Than Autumn Bundle + Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Real Red!..... One of my absolute favorite colors ever!  I didn't have any Real Red DSP on hand, so I decided to play with some texture through embossing.

This weeks color challenge

More Than Autumn Bundle + Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder

I love using my Stampin' Blends, even for monochromatic applications.  These cups were super simple to color.  I cut out a second set of bands for the cups so that they would look a bit more dimensional.
I've been itching to get started on holiday cards and this one was the perfect first card!
