Whew! It's a two-fer! I haven't done that in a long time!
WEll it just so happens there were tons of great challenges I wanted to do this week and hubs is out in the wilderness tonight so I am just cranking out crafty, I figured, why not? Dishes can wait.
LOL! So this card came together using the colors from Kristina Werner and the sketch from Card Patterns. I ended up with some fun results.
OK, so these aren't really baby card colors but I think I made it work anyway? The vintage-y lace edge on the sketch and many other elements in the sketch meant I had room for the SIX colors in Kristina's challenge. I also had this awesome 3-D star template from
Kelleigh Ratlaff (she's linked on my side bar) that I wanted to try out. My plan was to use half of the template and make a 3-D element on a card...it worked! I will SO do this again!
Check that star out! Some ink really set off the raised and recessed edges and the embossed and glittered swirls using a
Papertrey stamp set (Fancy Flourishes) really give this card some tactile qualities. Adding some celery ink to the celery
cardstock also added a vintage-y depth to the background and, of course, good
ol swiss dots to the rescue.
OK, I think I am done posting tonight. Sorry for the onslaught of posts today but I had *deadlines*!
LOL These challenges were the perfect fun for the end of a challenging but
satisfying week. Y'all know what I mean, sometimes you just gotta say, "what the craft" and make something just for the joy of it. Thanks for visiting!

You are really ON TO THE MOTHER LODE of card creations, little girl! DANG! This is beyond description for lil' old me. I don't know how or what to qualify my love for more! Each element of this card is almost more breathtaking than the previous! WOW! What if I just said, "WOW!"? Great stuff, baby!
