Stamps: Gnome by Stampendous; sentiment by Amuse
Paper: Pacific Blue; Tangerine Tango; Black; Confetti White; Bella Rosa DSP
Ink: Pacific Blue; Tangerine Tango; Kiwi Kiss; Ridinghood Red; Black
Other: White brads; Ruby Red button
This weeks bloggers challenge was to use Pacific Blue, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, Riding hood Red together. (or similar colors if you don't have these) This was truly a challenge for me! I don't think I normally use this many colors on my cards. And all these bold colors are outside of my comfort zone.
So I got out my little gnome friend and stamped him four times, (2 are cut out and pop dotted). The next challenge was figuring out how to get all the paper colors on there...I always feel the need to match my ink colors to my paper colors. I can't just have random colors around there without tying them into the rest of the card! I know, I have issues with everything always having to be a certain way. (but this is only the tip of the issues iceberg! lol) So after cutting up and wasting a lot of cs and dsp I decided I needed to make another 5x7 card. I have been making so many this size lately...they seem so BIG! Anyhow, this is what I ended up with. It always seems like the cards that I spend the most time on always end up being nothing great!
