Here is this week's color story (Challenge #85!) - talk about gorgeous!
The sponsor for this week's challenge is Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker. Be sure to check out the prize and all the contest details at The Play Date Cafe.
And here is the card that I came up with based on this week's color story:
All the stamps I used are from Waltzingmouse - I have decided that Say It Loud is officially my most favorite set.
I built my greeting in one of the images from Very Vintage Labels No. 18 and then cut it out using a pair of pinking shears. This label design in particular seems to work really well with this technique. I stamped one of the half-doily images from Dainty Doilies 2 - Small to create a frame for my label.
I also added in bits from Text It and Gingham & Co. - the color story made me feel a little vintage country with a touch of elegance and I tried to capture that with this card. It really is just sort of a mish mash of everything I love! :)I can't thank the gals at The Play Date Cafe enough - I love playing along with the challenges and being invited as a Guest Designer has been a real treat. Thanks to you, too, for stopping by. I hope you will play along with this week's challenge - please be sure to check out all the details on The Play Date Cafe blog. The deadline for Challenge #85 is Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at 11:59 pm EST.
Have a fantastic day!

ReplyDeleteAnya, I can't believe you described this as a mish mash! Okay, it is an absolutely lovely mish mash, if you must. I love what you did with the pinking shears - I'm tucking that one away for later use.
ReplyDeleteI think this is just wonderful - I do like the way you've mixed so many of the WMS sets - the pinking effect is fab (might borrow that one!). The colours are wonderful. Off to think about my card now! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, Anya! Gorgeous colors and love all the elements as well! Just received my Gingham set from Claire, which I won with the challenge and I love it!!! And Claire was sooo sweet to also put in a Half Pint Heroes, oh my gosh, don't you love her?! I gotta try this Gingham soon, these stamps are beauties!! Love yours in pink!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Wendy
