I just have to say first hand, I LOVE THIS COLOR SCHEME! Oh, yes, these
colors make me very happy inside. When I am happy I cannot but make things that make me happy. Today's cards do just that. One is a generic card to say HELLO!! I wanted to use these beads that I had in the colors of red, blue and white...so I got me some silver wire, strung some up and then had to figure out how to use them on my card. Everything that I used to day was stuff from my scrapbin. This is full of stuff that I either had left from another project or stuff I had salvaged from another object. The ring that holds the ribbon used to be on a key ring. I just loved it so I cut it off the key ring. The chipboard is from an old card kit I got years ago, and I just didn't use this piece.
I liked the scheme so much I decided to make a tag for a friend of mine. She is a special lady about to celebrate her 40th birthday. The items here are also from my bin. The tissue flower is a piece of tissue that came in a gift. I stamped it and spritzed it with some of my inks and then fashioned it into a flower (using Tim Holtz's flower from tissue technique). The chipboard and harlequin stamp are from Technique Tuesday, the jewelry is from a kids necklace and the girl stamp is from Hot off the Press and I wish I knew where the priceless stamp was made. I bought it at a yard sale.
Since the tag was made in layers, I wanted to use it for a challenge on layers. I love layers so I HAD to do this challenge. And the color scheme is perfect for a layering challenge.
Thanks to both CR84FN and Crazy 4 Challenges for keeping us all fresh and on our toes. I for one LOVE what you do for all of us crafters!
