I am seriously behind on this week's SCS challenges. Normally I would just forgo them, but I really wanted to try and get them done this week. I decided to combine yesterday's sketch challenge and Tuesday's Color Challenge. I haven't used Tart and Tangy for some time and I thought it would work well for both challenges. I couldn't find a way to make this fit into today's WT challenge or I would have! LOL! This card is clean and crisp...I was in the mood. I have been doing a lot of vintage lately.I started out by stamping the fruit images onto white cardstock and then punching them out with my 1 1/4 inch square punch. I then mounted them onto a piece of "Good Morning Sunshine" DSP. I added crystal effects to the center of the lemon and orange and the peel of the apple and then poured dazzling diamonds glitter over the top.
I also used my texture plates from SU!. If anyone has any tips for getting them to work in a Cuttlebug I would love to hear them. This is what I did: A plate, texture plate face up, cardstock, two tan rubber mats from Spellbinders, B plate and then I ran it through my cuttlebug. You can hardly see it, but I used it on the back Pumpkin Pie layer. It is super subtle, but in real life you can see it better. Everything else is pretty self-explanatory, but I did add a corduroy button that I love. I really need to get a few more colors.
I really liked making this card because I used a set I haven't used in a while as well as the pumpkin pie cardstock. The top pieces were completely faded. Hmmmm....that is not so good! LOL!
Thanks for fluttering by!

Totally cute Kelly!! I would have never thought of this set with that color combo but it TOTALLY works!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, ooh! this is so pretty and fresh.
ReplyDeleteKelly, your recent creations are drop dead gorgeous!!!!! Oh my word, you can STAMP girl!! I wanted to personally thank you for making that Strawberry Shortcake song stick in my mind. I thought I had purged it a loooonnnng time ago as my girls are 10 and 11 now....but noooo, now I have that running through my head. I thought at times I would secretly smash that tape to smitherines it got so old!!! LOL! Good times though, good times.
