This has been a silly week! This is my third post in a row with the word RED in it. How crazy. Oh well. Sometimes that is just how it happens. {smile}
Well, this week is off to a fast pace again. Sometimes I think I need to take a day off to catch-up with chores or just have an afternoon to rest and take a breath. But, lets be honest. Who would just sit there, and do nothing? Not me. Come on, life will pass you by! And I could always use an extra few hours in any day!
If you live in or around the Albuquerque, New Mexico area, and are in need to help out a charity or just want to 'win' a fabulous cake, stop by the main Presbyterian Hospital @ Central & I-25. We are putting together a carnival to help raise $ for the United Way charity. And, one of the carnival 'games' is a Cake Walk. You remember cake walks, right? You purchase a ticket to play, and if your number is selected, you win a cake! Today, I am baking all the cakes, cupcakes, and breads for this event! Sounds pretty yummy, huh? (I'll post pictures of the cakes on tomorrows post.) Understand now, why I need a few extra hours in a day?
Ok, so back to card making... The wonderfully talented ladies over @ Nacho Average Challenge have a color challenge this week. Ok, I have to admit, this color combo was a real bear for me. I hope you find some inspiration and play along with us!
Here is the color combo:
Here is what I created:
I used Tempting Turguoise card stock for the card base. I had to add a strip of First Edition DSP. {my favorite DSP}. I added a strip of DSP from the Summer Smooches DSP. The real red polka dot pattern paper just seemed elementary. And I love polka dots.
I used a new stamp, Life Shared. I stamped the image in Jet Black Staz-On and used Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, and Pumpkin Pie re-inkers to water color the image. I matted this onto a scrap piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock. This main panel was adhered to the card front with dimensionals, to lift it off the card front. I felt the card was missing something, so I added a banner piece of Tempting Turquoise DSP to the upper edge. I stamped 'friend' and stapled it.
Now, don't forget to stop by the rest of the Design Team's blogs to see what they have created! I know that you won't be disappointed!
