I know I've been away from my blogging a lot lately. I have not had a lot of time online – summers are busy! But I have been creating and I have stuff to share!! I'll work on getting it all online to share!!
Last week we had our team meeting. Our swap this month was a little different. We had a color challenge. I challenged everyone to use Pumpkin Pie, Apricot Appeal, Tempting Turquoise, and Green Galore on a card. I found a Fun Bright room idea online at Pier One and just knew it had card potential. Here's our inspiration for this month's swap.
Don't you wish your craft room could look like this?? The card that I created for the swap uses the Enjoy Every Moment Stamp Set.
My favorite part of the inspiration picture was the apricot and pumpkin stripes on the walls. I wanted to recreate that look on my card so I used the Pumpkin Pie Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and colored the white areas in with my Apricot Appeal Stampin' Write Marker. I LOVE the way it turned out. You only have to color one side, the ink will bleed through, and I actually found the side with the bleed through to be the prettier side after you color on ribbon! Here's a close up look at the colored ribbon.
That's it for now but keep an eye out! I'll be posting the rest of the team swaps very soon!!
