Joan's challenge today is to color block and I had a great time with it and a few bargains I got this weekend.
The doily is created with an MS punch around the page which Lisa (Ashdale) forced me to buy. Luckily I had a 50% off coupon. To create the color block in the center of it, I used Copic markers on an Acrylic square and spritzed with alcholol before stamping. I then stamped the sentiment over the top of that. I Kittified it with the spray of leaves and flowers and the ribbon bud which was another bargain. I got 6 for $.50! It was vanilla, but I airbrushed it with the Copic markers. I added a little peach colored organdy ribbon and some tiny blooms which are punched. The 5" square card front is Coordinations embossed with a Cuttlebug border around all four sides and sanded.
Thanks for looking!

Karen your card is Fantastic!!! "forced" LOL!!!! That's a very strong word! I think "Enticed" is more accurate! hmmmm.... wonder if I can entice some more? There are several lovely punch around the page sets that are just to die for!!! Too bad we live so far away from each other, we could share! Maybe we can just share ideas! That would be fun!! Love your card!
