Happy Monday! Feels like Sunday to me, because it's a long weekend! I love love love long weekends! One extra day to get caught up on chores, sleep in or just plain relax! Jonathon has a football game this afternoon, so I'm definitely looking forward to that!
Our Challenge Hostess for this week is Debbie, of the Paper Garden
This colour combination was definitely a challenge for me as I didn't have Apricot Appeal and decided to substitute with Cameo Coral. I am not totally happy with this card at all and had a really difficult time getting it to photograph. To my eye, it looks a little garish, but I decided to post it anyway, because with the good work, come the not so good work and well this to me, is definitely not my best!
I used Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow and Cameo Coral as the main colours. The image is from a retired Stamp set called Peaceful Wishes, which continues to remain to be one of my favourite sets. I cuttlebugged the Sage Background with the snowflake template and used an EK Success border punch along with Martha Stewart Branches to add some interest to the card. Glitter to the stamped branches and Sakura Jelly Roll Glaze pen to the berries adds a little dimension.
Hope you'll play along with us this week! Go to the Main Site to see the rest of the great designs and to post a link to your creation!
Happy Stamping

Well sister.....you've done it again....I'm reading your post and scrolling down and not seeing the picture of your card yet and I'm trying to get a visual of a "bad" Vicki card - and well I of course came up totally blank....since there is no such thing....or could it be that my mind is just blank all the time?? No that's not it...there is no such thing as a bad Vicki card!! This is beautiful - I love it. You worked wonders with that colour combo. Give a big hoot and a holler from Jax to John at football today!
ReplyDeleteLuv ya,
Jax
i think the color combo was a bit trying but I liked the end result...your card is perfect - not garish at all - love the leaves or branches peeking through - I think your card had just enough on it...great cards from all this week.
