Hi!
I LOVE the colors of my card today! I REALLY LOVE them and will definitely use them again! I don't know why I hadn't thought of these colors before! I take no credit for them. The colors are from the Neutrals Color Challenge for Color Inspiration for Card Makers Week in the Moxie Fab World challenge over at the Moxie Fab World blog. There are multiple color challenges going on over there. You can check them ALL out HERE! Here are the colors for the neutral challenge ~
Beautiful aren't they?!?! Here is my card ~
The base of this card is Blue Bayou and is 4 1/4" square. The next layer is Early Espresso and then on top is a textured piece of CS included in the DCWV Linen Closet Collection. In fact, the tree, clouds, "hills" and scallops on the "hills" are also from that collection. The "hills" were cut using my oval Nesties and scalloped oval Nesties. The tree is from MFT's Grow Love set and paper pieced with the Linen Closet DP on the top and the trunk of the tree was pieced using a wood pattern, that matched PERFECTLY I might add, from MME True Blue Fine and Dandy Collection. The clouds were cut using my MFT cloud dies and the sentiment was adhered using a Kraft button, topped with a clear SU! heart button and May Arts Ivory burlap string. The sentiment is from MFT's Flurry of Love set and was stamped on the Taupe colored CS using Early Espresso ink and then cut out and adhered using a glue dot!
OK, that will do it for now! Have a great day!
