Now that everyone has settled in with their lovely new cattys-in-hand, let's get back into some new stampin' fun!
The Creative Crew was challenged with:
CCREW0614DF DSP/Color Focus: Show us your favorite color. Try it in a color combo you haven't used before! Psssssst! Check out the CCREW gallery for lots of inspiration!
Color challenges can be lots of fun ... especially when you have to 'stretch' a little to make your natural choices blend in with the guidelines! If you haven't given one a try, then this one would be a perfect start!
I've always been a pinks, purply and some greens kinda girl. So when I first heard just the 'name' of the new In Color,
'Blackberry Bliss' ..... I already knew that it was for me. A 'done deal' for sure.
Then I 'saw' it IRL (in real life) and practically squealed out loud!
Oh yes ... back to the challenge:
Yep! My starting point was with a brand new awesome sheet of
Blackberry Bliss C/S in hand. Then I browsed through my hanging files of all other SU cardstocks, repeatedly picking one up then putting it back, until
it was right in front of me ....
Soft Sky! I loved it at first sight.
My
large scalloped border die was still on my table, and I wondered if I could work that into the card ... and it wasn't long before I could see it all in my mind and simply had to finish it up! One bitty
rhinestone dots the 'i' in 'friend' for a bit of glam to add to the wonderful sheen and subtle sparkle of the
Shimmery White cardstock.
I hope you like it!
And now I have an update from here at Texas Rubber & Ink!
