Super late night card

December 4th, 2007

Last night around 11 pm I decided to play along in the color challenge. My mind was awake so I knew I wouldnt be falling asleep anytime soon.

The color challenge was for these colors:

old olive
certainly celery
summer sun

I knew when I saw the 2 green colors that I wanted to use my ‘Tres chic’ background stamp. I love to use it with a tone on tone look and stamping the olive on the celery give it such a nice look. And I have a hard time using any other set with ‘tres chic’ other than ‘garden whimsy’ so I had my stamps picked out!

I rock and rolled the butterflies first in summer sun then in certainly celery, cut them out and used rain dots (from Gina K) and then crystal stickles on the wing tips. The scalloped circle is olive cardstock that I sponged and paper pierced the “humps” to make it stand out more against the green background.

I just LOVE that ‘tres chic’ stamp! Im sooooo glad it’s still around for the spring/summer catalog. Not that I would sell it or stop using it!

So, now that my challenge for today is all done I have plenty of time to play with other things. Like finally get to working on my designs for Papertrey and actually getting the monogram set out of the plastic! Dont think Im lazy, I’ve only had the set for about a week and it arrived when both girls were sick!

I’ll be back later with something fun!
