This week's Blogger's Challenge is a color challenge: teal, red and curry.
These colors are so vibrant, and I automatically thought of using it for a "congratulations" card. This card would also be fabulous for a graduation card.....dontcha think?
The base card is Bermuda Bay. I sponged the edges with Bermuda Bay ink.
I added two strips of Real Red (1 1/2" x 5 1/4") that have been run through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Impressions Folder.
The next layer is Crushed Curry. This color is not an easy color for me!!! I stamped the stars from Starring You (love this stamp set to pieces) using Crushed Curry ink. I also sponged the edges with the same ink. Adding the Basic Black mat helps ground the brightness of the Crushed Curry.
I stamped the sentiment with Basic Black ink on some Whisper White cardstock. I punched the sentiment with the Wide Oval punch and sponged the edges with Bermuda Bay ink.
To finish off the card, I added a Real Red photo corner and small star (with a silver brad placed in the center).
This card is already out in the mail to someone who has accomplished something wonderful, and I am so proud of her!!!!! Just wanted to tell her "WAY TO GO"!!!!!!
Now, it's time to check out what the other stampers have done with this awesome color combo. Click on the Blogger's Challenge icon on the right sidebar of my blog to check their projects out!
