It's a special week for the Color Challenge team, and we hope you will join in the celebration! We have reached our 700th Color Challenge! For this special event, each team member has selected her favorite combo between CC601 and CC699, and she is repeating that one this week. Each team member will pick her favorite from the cards made for her challenge, and there are prizes! Oh, and a special prize drawing for those who make five cards--one for each of the five color challenges this week, including the dessert option. Check out this thread for all the details. Get out those stamps and start getting inky!
I hate to admit how many goodies I've bought and not had a chance to play with yet. I decided to use this opportunity to break out a couple of new things: My set of Stitched Blooms dies and my Watercolor Stripes stencil. I used Bristol paper and sponged Old Paper Distress ink through the stencil openings. Oh, my! I am in love with this stencil! Then I cut all the leaf dies twice in Pear Pizzazz, and all the flower dies once in So Saffron and once in Berry Burst. It was fun deciding how to layer the flowers, and how to arrange the flowers and leaves on the stenciled layer.
I chose a simple thanks stamp for my sentiment, painted over it with a glitter brush, added a few pearls, and called it good.
This card is also for Kittie's, Stacy's and Nancy's Dare to Get Dirty challenges. Thanks for the fun challenges, ladies!
