Hi all,
welcome back :) This week Makeesha Byl posted a colour challenge and as usual I tried to play along. The combo tends towards the boyish, and my first thought was to make a boys birthday card pulling my retired By Land set out. But then as I was falling asleep another idea struck and thats what I went with. Here's the colour combo.
Oh and there is an extra challenge this week to add buttons.
OK so I started off by cutting a scalloped circle card base in Close to Cocoa, then I stamped that with a woodgrain pattern. Next I added a Not Quite Navy mat, then the top Kraft layer. I then impressed a woodgrain pattern onto the Kraft layer. I finished that by rubbing a bit of white craft ink over to just highlight the woodgrain a little. For the images I stamped the branch from Cheep Talk, and one of the party hats from Party Hearty in More Mustard then trimmed them out. Then I stamped the owl (from Fox and Friends) and the sentiment tag in Not Quite Navy, punched the tag, and trimmed the owl out. I used a More Mustard brad to attach the tag to the end of the branch and then added dimensionals to everything and fixed it all to the card front. The last touch - some buttons, threaded with silver cord, to act as twinkling stars! I just finished the inside off simply with another owl.
I think this card must be my all time winner for the number of different stamps sets used - six by my count!! But I think its a happy mix :)
Thanks for visiting,
Kim
