Out of my comfort zone ....
May 30, 2010
Just when I got all excited about doing my first Just Add Ink challenge, they went and gave me a bright colour challenge - Melon Mambo, Taken with Teal and Elegant Eggplant. Now I love each of those colours, but if you follow my blog you will know I'm a vintage, shabby, muted kinda girl (and my cards too, lol). But hey, that's what challenges are for right? Luckily I did have to whip up a quick card for Sam to take to a party today, a gymnastics party for one of his lovely friends from creche. So instead of a quick card I rose to the challenge - what girl doesn't like flowers and butterflies right? So here is JAI Challenge 19.
Here's the Stampin' Up! products I have used:
- Stamps: Scribble Jumbo Wheel, Cheep Talk and Butterfly Prints
- Cardstock / Ink: Taken with Teal, Whisper White, Basic Black, Elegant Eggplant and Melon Mambo.
- Accessories: Melon Mambo polka dot ribbon, Elegant Eggplant grosgrain ribbon, rhinestone brads, Bigshot and Timeless Type Junior Alphabet.
Thanks for popping by. Lovely to be doing some challenges again, have a couple more I'd like to do this week but it's back to shabby and vintage for me!!
