Gorgeous Grunge for CCMC272

It's Thursday and time for a new challenge from the talented ladies at Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have a color challenge, So Saffron, Bermuda Bay and Rich Razzleberry.

I wasn't quite sure what to do.  I went through my stamps and tossed around ideas and finally decided on Gorgeous Grunge and the greeting from the My Paper Pumpkin welcome kit.

I must say that the Gorgeous grunge stamps are So. Much. Fun!  It's hard not to over do it, I just want to keep adding splats!

 I kept this card pretty simple.  Did my lines and splats with Bermuda Bay and Rich Razzleberry.  The card base and Scallop circle from the Circle Flip card Thinlets are in Rich Razzleberry as well.  I stamped the greeting with Bermuda Bay and die cut it with a circle framelit.  For extra fun I added So Saffron stars die cut with a star from the Circle Flip Card Thinlets.  The chevron die cut is in that collection as well.  I used all three colors for the chevrons, I liked the look of it better than just all one color.  A couple of Bermuda Bay candy dots on top of the stars and the card is complete!

I hope you will join the color challenge with me!  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details and more great samples.  


If it doesn't move...stamp it!!
