Hello friend!!!
I hope that you had a great weekend. It was another busy one here for us. Medical procedures, dental visits, a last home football game for my amazing trumpet playing band Senior, a Homecoming dance, church and church meetings. I wanted to share with you a thought that was shared with me that I plan to take to heart.... when you have the thought to think or say, "I HAVE to ____", instead try thinking or saying, "I GET to ____". I loved the sentiment and I think it shifts our mindsets to a grateful way of thinking, and I can't wait to start rethinking so many aspects of my life. That being said, I am grateful today that I GET to share this super cute card with you.
While this color challenge screams Christmas to me, I think it's just an all around great color combo, and I even have variations of it in my own backyard!!!!
The colors are Real Red, Old Olive, and Coastal Cabana. I knew exactly what set I wanted to use with this combo the moment I saw it! Stampin' Up!'s Sweets & Treats! It's a great set for coloring, and you probably know that I LOVE coloring with our Stampin' Blends Markers!
This card makes me so happy!!!! As my hubby would tell you, it made me "Eeeep!" I tend to make that noise I guess when I get excited about something.
To make this card, I stamped all of the images in Memento Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, then colored them with three colors in the challenge as well as Crumb Cake Blends Markers. (We don't carry a Coastal Cabana Blend, so I blended Bermuda Bay and Pool Party to get a very similar color).Then I cut them all out, and layered them on a sentiment that I had embossed in Black Embossing Powder on a tag that I had added to a piece of the Host Designer Series Paper, Pattern Party. Oh! I also added a few Red Rhinestones to give it a little extra flair!
