Challenge Card


Well we have a Sketch Challenge over at the Just Add Ink website along with a colour challenge at the Play Date Cafe. So I thought I would try and do one card for two challenges this time.So with both the colours and sketch I set about to make my card. I used Basic Grey for the main card, and using the Top Note die I cut out some old olive, then used Pumpkin Pie for the final layer and just rounded the corners off with my corner rounder punch. I decided to emboss the main card so used the Elegant Lines embossing folder and then with a sponge I just lightly sponged some pumpkin pie ink over the raised image, I also sponged around the old olive cardstock. I also added some old olive ribbon which I braided through the bottom of the pumpkin pie cardstock. The sentiment I used is "best wishes" from the Silhouette Sentiments stamp set available for all hostess'.

Don't forget to click over to the other websites to see what other demonstrators have come up with. Some great cards and inspiration from all.

Thanks for stopping and hope you enjoy

    Love the way you have balanced the embossing in one corner with the mini flowers in the other - very pretty! Thanks for playing at the PDCC this week :)
