It's the first Sunday of the month which means a new Challenge Chicks Challenge is posted! This month, Diane asked us to use this color combination on our cards...
These are the Stampin Up colors: Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky, Crushed Curry, and Tangerine Tango....so pretty!
You can upload your Challenge Chicks project to Splitcoaststampers using the keyword CHXMAY13 or link your blog post or photo to our Facebook page HERE.
I thought it was a perfect opportunity to use some patterned papers and make a birthday card for the lovely JOYCE who is having a birthday TODAY!
I stamped the gorgeous rose from Roses in Bloom by Waltzingmouse Stamps a few times onto Basic Grey paper, then layered it with dimensionals. Also added some highlights with a few Copic markers.
Added a doily from Dainty Doilies-Large set. It's stamped in VersaMark ink, heat embossed with white powder.
At the very bottom of the blue circle you can see the Chicken Wire background stamped in VersaMark along with a sentiment from Fancy Phrases. For my woodgrain piece, I coated the Woodgrain Impression plate from A Muse Studio with Vintage Cream ink before running it through my Cuttlebug. Kinda of scary, but it sure looks cool!
