Mary is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week. We are saying a fond farewell to the 2015-2017 In Colors from StampinÂ’ Up! They are Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder, Crisp Cucumber, Tip-Top Taupe, and Delightful Dijon. Mary has asked us to use at least two of these colors, along with neutrals of choice. For the dessert option, we are to create our own background. I definitely get dessert this week!
The outside of my card (not shown) is plain, with a white belly band that says, “Happy Birthday to EWE.” There is a cute little lamb jumping on the band.
This card is for my DH, who will celebrate his 79th birthday in a few days. Believe me, I wouldnÂ’t go to this much work for many people! My scene is a combination of products from several companies, and I am proud to say I used ALL of the retiring In Colors!
The only things of note that might not be obvious from the photo are that I painted the heart and balloon with Wink of Stella and then covered them with Crystal Effects. They are very shiny!
We have a little joke in our family. I show off my cards to DH, my daughter, and son-in-law. As a rule, I haven’t done anything to the inside when they see them. So they always peek inside and say, “There’s nothing inside!” Won’t they be surprised this time!?!?
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!
