Cards Blog Challenge

I made a couple of cards today for the color challenge at Create: blog.  It's sponsored by Paper Smooches, a company in the middle of HUGE sneak peeks and a big giveaway.  You can see the peeks every day this month on the Paper Smooches blog.  

The challenge was to use this color combination:

And it was quite a challenge, but here's what I came up with!

Little Bitty Bird, Tiny Tags (PTI)

I created the little scene on the white cardstock panel using some felt and foam adhesive to give it some dimension.  The white panel is adhered behind a layered Mat Stack 3 window, with the grass making a border at the bottom.  To bring out more grey, I added the border strip at the bottom and completed it with the thin ribbon and tiny tag.  To give a little more sparkle to the card, I added a border of glitter to the white card base. 

For the second card, I used the same color of grey and placed some chartreuse die-cut leaves on it.  To soften both of those colors, I adhered a layer of vellum over them.  After stamping the sentiment, I added the aqua flowers and chartreuse bow.  The aqua served as the perfect card base for this card.

So, that's what I've been up to today.  It was rainy and cold all day, so I was happy to stay inside and get some crafting done.

Thanks for stopping by!
