A Color Challenge

Posted on | November 6, 2008 | 25 Comments |

My first Kristina colors challenge in a month… maybe more! It was a bit woah at first since purple… or elegant eggplant… isn’t my color but here it is. This week’s colors are Pacific Point, Taken with Teal, Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie, and White.

For the beads behind the flowers, I just used regular dressmaker pins and stuck the beads in there and pushed the pins into the knot. Really easy.

This card has dimensions. I have some thicker dimensionals (2x the SU ones) behind the orane and of course there’s the knot and then the flower and the button on top of the flower. I love dimensions on my cards {::SMILES}.

I went to card night too last night at my upline’s home. It was fun and I’ll share those tomorrow. We made nine cards, three of each design. Cute cute!

Now I am super tired. Monday I had no excuse to stay up late. Tuesday I couldn’t get off the election and last night was card night and I started on this card because I was too wired up to go to bed.

Have a great day and more tomorrow!

Material:

SU cardstock, October Afternoon pattern paper (cut the flower out of it), Making Memories alpha, foam letters from the $1 store, ribbon, pin, button, twine and my handwriting.

EDIT: I reuploaded the picture. There was something wrong with my monitor, had to recalibrate, and the colors were off. Here’s a better picture… where the colors look very close to what the card is… yesterday’s photo was super bright purple! Eek!!!
