Colour Create
is the second challenge of the day and the last challenge for Colour Create of the year and we are going out with a bang of colors before we start our challenges for next year
"Blue, Silver, White plus embossing"
Our Sponsor is a wonderful scrapbook store and home of the Pixie Cottage Stamps
I am using the new Ice Skating Tilda from the newest Christmas collection of Magnolia's. I love blue a lot so this challenge was right up my alley until.... I could not find a blue in my collection to match my coloring of her outfit. I wanted to keep her simple and not go too over board.
I love my Amy R sentiment stamps and hope to get the new Valentine one's soon very soon.
I used a Prima flower for the center and my roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I thought I was crazy for buying blue roses and that I would never use them....but I found them a good home. I also used my Memory Box die again but I cut it up and used it to branch out from my flowers.
I did a heat emboss on the sentiment in Sparkle n Sprinkles white detail ep. I also embossed the silver paper in the background. I used a lot of picket fence crackle paint on my card. Like everywhere. Even my flowers. I think I really like it on my flowers.
I love my maggies and she is a cutie. She is perfect for practicing folds and fur!
I know it is hard to see, but I used a silver smooch spritz to my blue cardstock to tone it down a bit . I used another Amy R sentiment on the inside making a pop up ribbon banner on the inside.
