Twice a month, the Pink Cat Studio Design Team has a challenge for all members! Last Monday, I was the hostess and I challenged all the team members to create something using this valance from my computer room as inspiration! So all the team members should have some bright, colorful creations for you to see today! You can check out their blogs by scrolling down my left-hand column and clicking on the links! Incidentally, there's a new link there for our newest team member, Lauren Meader. We welcomed Lauren to the team this past week as a new member!
So here's my card...
I took a little bit of everything from the curtain to create my card... the colors, of course, and the flowers, and just the overall different patterns within the stripes! A very fun, colorful, springy card, I think! And the chance to use a new Cuttlebug folder should never be passed up, so I used Floral Fantasy here!
Stamps: Garden Stamps, sentiment from Lily & Tweet (Pink Cat Studio); Cardstock: Pixie Pink, Green Galore, Marigold Morning (Stampin' Up!), white (Georgia Pacific); Inks: Adirondack Pitch Black (Ranger), Orange pigment (Colorbox by Clearsnap), markers (Copic); Accessories: silver brads (Making Memories), large oval punch (Stampin' Up!), Floral Fantasy embossing folder (Cuttlebug by ProvoCraft), flowers (Prima).
Just occurred to me... I didn't color the centers of my flowers! I think I may go back and put some rhinestones on them!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
Gorgeous card Tammy thanks for the great challenege,xxxxxx
