Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday!!Here is my card for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge, MTSC38, and for today's Color Challenge on SCS, CC235, Elegant Basic Olives!!
Initially, I was going to make a Halloween card, but I thought I would try and go for a more elegant look with these colors...think I achieved that?
I started by stamping this gorgeous flower image from Side by Side from There She Goes in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock. I stamped the image again on another piece of Choice Buttercream, colored both and then cut out and popped the flowers up on Foam Tape.
I then stamped the Just Because sentiment from Bloom, also from There She Goes, and using a ruler and black pen, created a frame around my image and sentiment. Once again...I did NOT pierce!! Crazy right???
I ran both my Elegant Eggplant (all of a sudden I LOVE this color!!) and Old Olive panels through the Cuttlebug with the D'Vine Swirl Embossing Folder! I haven't used this EF in ages, but I still love it!!!
I finished off my card with two Vanilla Brads by American Crafts, as well as a double ribbon of Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, one of which I colored purple with a Copic Marker (V09). There is the merest bit of Star Dust Stickles in my flower center for some shimmer!!
Did you know that There She Goes has a brand new blog??? Each day is something new and exciting! Today, as it's Tuesday, is Trendsetter Tuesday, and Angela aka Mudflapmama is the featured Trendsetter! You can check it out right here!!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I will be back a little bit later tonight...I am trying to get some goodies together for blog candy!!
