But it's my first! I love Kristina Werner's Color Challenges
and I need them I tend to stick to Earth Elements, especially Chocolate Chip!
This weeks colors aren't too out there for me so I started my card. I wanted to use Fabulous Flowers cause I HAD to get it when I learned it was retiring!
I started by creating my own pp for the background - sure way to get all the colors. I finished using JUST the listed colors and it NEEDED something! Apparently I can't make a card without Choc Chip! But it totally MADE the card!
So after I created the background paper by just stampin the small flowers randomly I cut it down and distressed the edges and inked them. I matted it on a piece of ruby red cs that I also distressed and inked - I am really into distressing and inking right now!
For the sentiment (which is half the reason I got the set, I LOVE that sentiment!) I colored it with my SU markers - I am so pleased with how it turned out! I wanted to showcase it in a unique way so I started looking at my nesties, and thought what if I use lables one and cut it down to a more rectangular shape! and it WORKED! I sponged the edges and added some punched out flowers with a brad to finish it off!
What do you think? I hope it's ok I cheated and added choc chip!
