WOW! I actually managed to make another card. I have so so missed you guys. I packed this morning and after a very quick sandwich I started on my card. I already knew what I was going to do, so it just meant getting it done. The colors this week are very bright and intense. Some might say intimidating, but because of their brightness, the more imagination the better the card. I really loved the team members cards. All were great, each different from the others. Thanks Cathy, for your colors, Green Galore, Pink Passion, and Chocolate Chip.
I chose Simple Friendship StampinUp stamp set. Card stock used was Green Galore(card base), Pink Passion, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White. Inks used were Pink Passion and Chocolate Chip, and I used a Uniball white gel pen. Sizzlit leaves and embosslit Cherry Blossom dies were used. A texture plate was used to emboss my Whisper white card stock after using Martha Stewart's eyelet lace punch. I used a piece of rick rack from Hobby Lobby that was a perfect match to the pink, a cabochon pearl from the Pretties Kit, and white beads with a slight pinkish tint from the pink bead duo centered my flowers.
Again, I had a lot of fun making this card. Maybe after so many weeks of packing up the house, cards are just more fun to make anyway. Five more days and we will be loading the moving truck. In the meantime, I still have a lot to finish. Hope you enjoy the card. I have enjoyed the latest comments on my return to the card and blog world. Ya'll be sure and check out the Color Throwdown Challenge website located in Sylvia's Favorites. And again thanks to team member Cathy for this weeks challenge.
