CR84FN Challenge: Aqua, Steel Blue and Gray

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

Take a look at these colors...
A little different, huh? Well for ME they are--but once I took a look at the creations from Mona and her team, the inspiration kicked in, and I fell in love with these colors!! I knew I had some creme roses made (from torn chiffon) that would look nice with MME's Stella and Rose papers...
I stamped, cut, crumpled, inked and glittered some cardstock for those leaves. And of course, I had to use some pretty aqua seam binding (Memrie Mare on Etsy)...and some pearls...even a little burlap... Put it all together, and this is what ya get for today!As usual, as soon as I saw my pictures, there were several things I wanted to change. (Does that happen to anybody else?!? I think I could do a do-over of every stinkin' card I make, once I see the photo. But you know what they say..."ya git what ya git, and ya don't throw a fit!!")

Do hope you like it, and DO hope you'll come back!!

  19. Congratulations on winning this weeks challenge. Your card is simply divine. I have been admiring it for a little while now and it is so very pretty. The flower is just swoon-worthy. I love the contrasting texture of the burlap and seam binding treatment with the grace of your color combinations and that "to die for" flower. So lovely. Brava!
