Good morning everyone.....It's getting warm here in Texas!!! We have been in the 90's this week and they expect us to reach 100 by Sunday...yikes!!! What's a girl to do but stay in the house and stamp!!! I made this card for the color challenge on Stamp TV. This was Carla's first color challenge and she chose brown, green, and vanilla. I used Basic Grey's Cappella dp on the background and the images were from Nina's Elegant Post set. Mellow Moss was sponges around the birdcage and the top of the birdcage was colored with copics. The Prima, leaves, pearls, ribbon, and Nesties Shapes finish it off. The sketch is Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #115.Recipe:
Stamps: Elegant Post
Paper: Pure Luxury Ivory, Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown, Basic Grey's Cappella dp
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Mellow Moss
Accessories: Prima, Leaves, Nestabilities, Ribbon, Brown Pearls, Copics
This is one of the cards I made for my Grandchildren's graduation/awards programs. We have 6 programs to attend so each one of them will receive a card and a little mad money...aren't Grandparents wonderful people...LOL!!! This was pretty simple...since it was for one of my DGSs, it had to be masculine with the stars and fun colors. I used an old Stampin Up! stamp and the paper was from Creative Impressions. He may overlook the ribbon as long as it has the awesome looking clip....I'll let ya know if it passes the cool test!!!Recipe:
Stamps: Stampin Up! (I don't know the name of the set)
Papers: Vanilla, Real red, Not Quite Navy, Creative Impressions dp
Ink: Not Quite Navy
Accessories: Stampin Up! Star Punch, PTI Enchanted Evening Ribbon, Button, Clip
