This is definitely a different type of card for me - the colors are from the
Play Date Cafe Challenge 55 pictured below. I decided to pull the many diverse hues from patterned paper (Basic Grey Granola and Offbeat) - using patterned paper is the Scrappy Saturday Challenge #31 from the
wee Memories blog.
A strip of sparkly glitter seems to be my favorite way to "kick things up a notch" on cards lately. This particular color is Kunzite from Martha Stewart.
The Swiss Dots embossing folder added texture to all the "white space that is actually burgundy space" which seemed a tad too plain. The chipboard letters are from Cosmo Cricket and were actually patterned - I loved the font though so I just painted them with some gesso to prime and then stippled with some Traditional Tan Claudine Hellmuth paint. I really like the way the ends of the patterned paper are snipped every which way - I was inspired by
Kristina Werner - Have a great weekend!
