Hi everyone. I'm here to share a very quick card I made for a special man in my life, using
Bar's fab Color Throwdown (
CTD157) combo for the week! Check it out:
Awesome, right? I used my new stamp set being released at
MTME this month (available tomorrow),
Happy Hallows. It pairs beautifully with my paper,
Trendy Forest also. I used three of my sheets from the collection to whip up this card. It was SO easy...it came together effortlessly.
I used
Lauren's
Round Up Tag to cut my tree out (using Lauren's instructions on cutting digi images with cut files found
HERE). I layered three of the images to make the top of my tree (the kooky circle at 80% transparency, the fill leaves, and the outline leaves in blue). My tree base is in kraft (kind of)...and my sentiment from
So Sentimental is in burgundy. SO, I eDID use all the colors, but like normal, I focused on two of them ;] Not sure why I always do that...one day I hope to be as creative as our other gals and be able to incorporate all of the colors thoroughly.
Notice my sentiment panel. I pinned the rectangle from Round Up Tag to my limeade plaid with a couple of brads. I wrapped my hemp twine around the brads and tucked them behind the two notches I punched using the SU punch that has two little rectangles on it (couldn't find the link, sorry) on each side of the plaid panel. I layered everything with dimensional tape (as usual).
I used Chupa's
Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #26 for my layout
That's all I have for you today, but be sure to check out the rest of our talented DT and super-talented guest designer!
Thanks for stopping by today. I'm finally getting back into the swing of things, and hopefully chanelling my mojo again (if not today, maybe next week).
Have a great hump day! It's almost over...
