One of Those Days
It's been so long since I participated in the Prettie Weekly Challenges but Danielle does such an awesome job of keeping the challenges fresh and fun and did you know that there are prizes??! Check out the Challenge Forum every Thursday to find the new challenge. This week it's a color challenge - White, Kraft and ??? - you choose the 3rd color! Fun - I love kraft paper lately.
For my card today I used One of Those Days from Paper Pretties, of course. Ever since I made this card with the clear embossed background I've wanted to do that again so I also took out Sassy Circles and stamped the row of smaller circles using Versamark over my kraft cardstock. I then embossed them with Clear EP - love this look (even though it's difficult to photograph)!!
The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory. The egg is pieced with kraft paper and the chick is colored with Copic markers. I used a pretty button and tied it over the ribbon (as I've seen on Nichole Heady's blog many times).
I hope you give the Challenges a try - you'll be glad you did!! :)
Cardstock: White, Kraft, Lemon Tart (Papertrey Ink), Stamps: Sassy Circles, One of Those Days (Paper Pretties), Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Versamark, Accessories: Ribbon (Papertrey Ink), button (Foo Fa La), Linen Thread, Corner Rounder punch, Dimensionals, Clear EP (SU!), Copic markers

ReplyDeleteSuper cute. Love the embossed background on the kraft and the yellow is great with it. That flower you made for the last card is awesome. I really need to give those a try. Have a great day. Ready for more snow? :( -Molly B
