I can't believe it's Thursday already! Preview week is just flying by! Today we have a color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary, let's take a look.
I wasn't too sure about what to do with these colors, so I decided to go with a more masculine and linear card.
I wanted to use all new products in my design and I am pretty pleased with the results. Let me run you through all the elements. The first is the Island Indigo card base embossed with the new Arrows Textured Embossing Folder. I love the bold lines it creates.
I did an offset matting with Smokey Slate and Perfect Plum to layer my greeting on. The greeting from Just Sayin' really stands out stamped in Island Indigo on the crisp Whisper White card stock. The final element is the banners. They are from the upcoming Sale-a-bration set called Banner Blast and have a coordinating punch. I did four of them along the bottom of the greeting that alternate in design and color. They do a great job balancing out the offset matting.
I really enjoyed making today's card. I hope you will join me and do a card of your own with this week's color challenge. You can find all the details and more samples from the Design Team at
