Gotta Love a Challenge!


I took a break from typing tonight and made a card for Kristina Werner's color inspiration challenge that she is featuring on her blog: http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog

The colors she found were inspired by a Pottery Barn ad and translated into Stampin' Up! colors equate to the following: So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, and Close to Cocoa

My entry, above, is comprised of all Stampin' Up! supplies. I used the All Scallops and Lovely Labels sets (love them both!) as well as some of our chipboard, which I painted with a Bashful Blue re-inker, sprinkled with Iridescent Ice embossing powder, and heat embossed with my heat tool. I had the Iridescent Ice powder already out for another project and, as it pretty much gets glitter EVERYWHERE, I decided to use it again before I put it back in the jar. :) I used the Boho Blossoms punch for the embellishment and cut the large flower in half to flank the chipboard. I adhered the flower halves with silver brads. Certainly Celery Designer Series paper completes the look. I think it turned out cute and I love this color combo--thanks Kristina!

Thanks for looking everyone! :)

I like your card, very clever use of the flowers from the Boho Blossoms Punch.
