CR84FN13

Hi bloggies! I have a card for CR84FN Color Challenge tonight. It's been on my  mind for quite some time now. I just couldn't focus enough to come up with something. But after some time off of my craft table, I came up with something I liked. But before that, here's the color combination for this challenge.



This was made using Vintage Labels 10 and my all time favorite, Victorian Frippery. You can never go wrong with Victorian Frippery! There are red roses on the patterned paper, and after I adhered my label I realized I covered a lot of them. So I stamped a swirl right below the sentiment to make sure there was a visible red portion of the card. The patterned paper also had turquoise stripes on it, but I used some ribbon to add a little more color since the patterned paper was a little "washed off". This is also one of my favorite sketches, I seem to go back to it again and again. I think it's just elegant the way the divisions go and how the ribbon is right there in the center.

  1. Your stamping is always so beautiful, especially that Victorian Frippery! Love the seam binding, too. I've been working on this challenge off and on today but having a hard time finishing it. Maybe once the kids are asleep!
