Happy Tuesday everyone. Peggy is our colour challenge hostess this week and the colours she chose are "smokey slate, crushed curry and tempting turquoise" the desert option is - "Birthday"
I have this cute Stampin Up set "Little trucks" which I purchased on E-Bay. It was missing the flagman from the set. I needed a flagman - so I printed out the image off the internet. Traced it onto vellum. Scanned it into my computer and tried to size it correctly. I stamped the bulldozer and the saw horse - warning lights on either side of the bulldozer. Coloured them and made the ground look like gravel ( for the smokey slate colour). I coloured my flagman - changed the sign from "Hi" to "HB" - short for Happy Birthday. I sponged in the clouds. Stamped on the "they say it's your birthday sentiment (using my stamp a ma jig for correct placement). Popped up the flagman. Matted image with the blue, crushed curry and grey card stocks. Sewed around the edge. Added the Crushed Curry banner - attached with screw brad. I made the striped base panel with four different papers. Matted with crushed curry. Sewed edge. Popped up the image panel.. Finished the inside.
I want to give credit to Theresa (theelopers) for the design of my card. Here is Theresa's card that I cased Aug10VSNK - Soaring Where
I hope you will come and join us in this weeks colours challenge.
Hugs..Pat
