I have never been good making cards with paint chips; I don't know why, but it just doesn't gel for me. So, when Bev (beestamper) challenged our small group to make a card using a paint chip and flower stamp, I at first thought *Oh, no! I can't do paint chip cards!* Well, that's the purpose of our group: to challenge ourselves, so I made myself sit down at my work table last night and do a paint chip card.
Now this card doesn't look like it, but I spent over an hour working on it. I attempted several ideas I had; all of them ugly once I put them to paper. Tired and needing to go to bed, the paint chip slipped out of my hand, dropping onto a piece of white cardstock and I thought, *Hmmmmm. I kinda like the stark simplicity of this!* So, I just added the three faux brads, this sweet little happy birthday stamp, and paper piercing at the bottom and called it good.
TFL!
