Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa, Cameo Coral, Blush Blossom and White.
A coworker of Mark's is named Joy. Her sister is Hope. She has a brother named. Frank! My name is Faith. My sister's name is Hope. My brother's name is Frank! Needless to say, we have bonded! LOL! So, I OFTEN make cards for her. Right now she's in the middle of getting the company picnic ready for the end of the month. Sounds easy, right? WRONG! She has to rent a gazillion carnival games and rides. She has to coordinate the entertainment, and get prizes. And, do all her normal duties as well! Did I mention that OVER a thousand people go to the company picnic??? Yep, she's looking a bit ragged right now, and I decided to make a card for her.
The scene was made with peg stamps and VersaColor inks. I found PERFECT matches for the SU! Colors, too! (Umber, Sage, and Cinnamon) The butterfly is a Spellbinders' Shapeabilities die. It was cut out and embossed on Blush Blossom paper. I rubbed the Umber pad over the embossed areas. Next, I sponged in Cinnamon(Cameo Coral) for shading.
