The first is my blog friend Stacy! We go way back to our days with TAC! ;) She has a terrific CAS style that I love!! Here challenge is called Dig it Out Friday! You can see her latest challenge HERE!
Stacy has a great color challenge for us this week! Of course, it is my favorite color combo! I have used it alot lately! :)
And the next challenge is Jay Gee Nook's Challenge #2! Here is her inspiration picture....
So of course the 2 challenges go hand in hand! Here is my take on both...
I have been holding on to this ribbon forever! I love the "homespun" feel of it! When I saw Jay Gee's challenge, I knew I had to pull it out!
I used one of the circles from Borders and Corners, and was happy to see that it fit perfectly with the Limitless Labels circle!
All the distressing is with Tim Holtz Tea Dye and the little applicator tool! I can't get enough of that thing! I love the soft look it gives the edges of the card!
I really should be cleaning my house! I am kidless at the moment though so I am taking full advantage! And boy did I need some quiet! :)
Have a great afternoon!
Supplies all PTI unless noted...
Stamps: Signature Christmas Greetings, Text Style II, Circle Borders and Corners
Paper: Kraft, Pure Poppy, Rustic Cream
Ink: Tim Holtz Tea Dye, Burnt Umber Palette
Misc: Wilton Doily, Misc Plaid ribbon, Limitless Labels Die, Pure Poppy Buttons, Twine
