To My Friend (CCMC167)

Guess what? It’s Thursday. Guess what else? I’m super happy to report that I’ve been asked to be a Guest Designer at Create with Connie and Mary‘s Holiday Edition! I am really excited about the project that I’ve created to share with those of you who subscribe for this edition!

There is currently Early Bird Pricing on now…save $5 off the normal $34.95 price…$29.95 US for six weeks of daily posts and tutorials featuring the Holiday Mini.

 

Another great thing about Thursdays is the newest Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week, it’s all about colour!

For my card, I used Old Olive as my base and stamped the outline leaf from Gently Falling with Old Olive Ink. I did the same thing on the Basic Grey layer and then I put it in my Simply Scored and scored in some detail border lines. I then sponged them with Basic Grey ink to highlight them a bit.

 

The bottom of the card is some Spice Cake designer series paper which is roughed up a bit and sponged.

 

For the central bundle of fun, I used Gently Falling and cut out various leaves and an acorn. I nestled them in an embossed frame which is sponged and splattered using my Air Spritzer tool. Behind the leaves, I’ve added a Decorative Label that was stamped with an image from Four Frames and inside is a sentiment from Friendly Phrases.

 

To finish is all off, I added some Basic Grey Satin Ribbon and a Bitty Button backed with an Old Olive circle.

 

I thank you so much for stopping in and for all your patience while I get my new blog set up all up and running!

 

Now it’s your turn to head on over to Create with Connie and Mary and play along with us!
