The Blogger’s Challenge this week is a color challenge-Pumpkin Pie (YUMMY! Get’s me thinking of the real thing next week), Brocade Blue, Old Olive and Choc. Chip.
These are NOT my usual colors, so it was definitely a challenge for me. I kept thinking BOY card, but didn’t feel like going all masculine with it.
While going through my gigantic paper assortment, I came across my much neglected Mellow Collection by Basic Grey. YEAH!!! Flowers with those colors.
DING, DING, DING, DING!!!! People we have a winner.
So I decided I would go all out of my “element” (yes I really can do different style’s :D), and get all distressy with it. Tim Holtz distress inks to the rescue! It felt good to try something different for a change of pace. Especially since I am SO into the Christmas mood-which you will see over the next few days.
The images are by Lizzie Anne-the L’amour set (sentiment) and Heart to Heart—>HERE.
The heart is stamped on patterned paper with versamark, and embossed with UTEE. Then cut out, and pieced over stamped image.
I added some piercing, and copper brads! I also ran by copper pad along the edges.
I must say I {heart} this card.
So that’s it for now.
I am off to prep my template for tomorrow’s Saturday Sketch, and PRAYING I make a stepped up sample. Right now my sample is way SIMPLE. Maybe even too simple-but for mass production it would be considered a fabulous sample-but I want to show you that it can be all FANCY SCHMANCY too!
Oh and wait till you see my Sunday post!! I’m way happy with it.
Thanks for looking 😀
OK till tomorrow!
