Hello Everyone!
Well I only have a few days left before my craft show. I finished up one project yesterday and started the last one. I got it about 2/3 finished so I will finish up the last 2 items today. Then tomorrow I will price everything and pack the car so I am ready to get an early start on Saturday morning. Wish me luck!
My card today began with the color challenge at The Paper Players
It has been a while since I have played with this challenge and the colors were so different than what you would think of for this time of year so I decided to join them.
When I am under a time crunch, a sketch challenge is a good way for me to design a card quickly. I found another challenge I had not done in a while. The sketch challenge at Nacho Average Challenges appealed to me so I decided to use it.
These colors are so different and I wanted to do flowers. I originally started with the idea to make Saffron and Tangelo flowers. I stamped my flowers and started filling them in with the coordinating stamps. Before I knew it I had colored all the flowers to I had to switch gears. I then decided to add some butterflies using the Tangelo. After that I added my leaves and used the Lagoon color as it is a greenish blue. That was the main panel. I need to do the banner behind it. I looked for ds paper but I did not have any that I thought would work, so I decided to use the Everyday Chic ds paper and mount it on black. All the pieces were complete so I just needed to put my card together. Here is my final creation.
