EDIT: Thanks to Stacy and all the girls at Curtain Call! My card made Top 5! Yeah! :)
Love, LOVE this color combo and HAD to play along! You can see Stacey's challenge HERE!
So I found the closest colors I had and got to work! This is what I came up with....super simple!
I got the Tea Leaves paper when I was in Chicago at CHA! I love this stuff!
So that is all for today! Hope everyone had a fantastic week! I am off to a kids clothing consignment sale today and a HUGE craft fair tomorrow in Hillsboro, KS! Can't wait!
Supplies (All PTI unless noted)
Stamps: Beyond Border Basics, Mega Mixed Messages
Paper: Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Green Tea Leaves
Ink: Jumbo Java Versamagic
Misc: Ivory Satin Ribbon, MS Flower Stickers, silver pearls, Rectangle Nestie
Fantastic ....... I have to look at those flowers again such a perfect size for that image and I love how it is in the die. Forget the paper ...... I am going to have to break and get that. I love it and it goes in and out in and out of the cart. Now I need to get down to business..... are you selling at the consignment or buying. I need to set one of these up in NC when we get there I have tubs and tubs of clothes for the kids and it is a PIA to sell on ebay. I had been doing business with a place in Brooklyn but they annoy me. You know I am too Polly Anna and that does not work too well here ...... you have to be cutting edge. Maybe they should make a craft :) Are you selling at the craft fair?? They will be lining up for you girl~~
ReplyDeleteHey Laurie, I'm a new follower to your blog...love your style! Your card is beautiful...very soothing colors! Great take on the challenge.
ReplyDeleteOh, Laurie. Why must you always make me buy things that I see on your blog? My husbands going to make me stop coming here if every time I do, it sends me into a buying spree!! I love it.
