Something old...Prismas and star rhinestones
Something new...Bettina Buttercream
Something borrowed...Hope's idea to color Bettina with the good ol' red, white & blue: Happy Birthday, USA! by Htspencer at Splitcoaststampers
and Jamie's sketch for this week
Something blue...pretty much the whole card!
I had to squish up the flowers in the corner so I deviated a bit from the sketch, but I had issues with the sentiment on here. The first one I picked was too wide to work on here, so I ended up with this one that had the right "feel" to it but is taller than the sketch really called for. Oh well, I think it works anyway! This will go to my SIL whose birthday is on July 5. I colored in Bettina's wings with a Versamarker and then embossed with Iridescent Ice, I wish that showed up in the pic since it looks great IRL.
Now that I've finished all the main color challenges, I have to say it is oddly freeing to be able to work with any ol' colors I want to!! I've missed some colors...like Brilliant Blue and any of the purples. Of course now it takes me longer to figure out what combination of colors I want to use
