this week at shopping our stash, a picture... or at least, a visual inspiration... is worth a thousand words:
so obviously we want you to make a card or project using this palette as your inspiration. you can use the colors, either individually or all together; or you can take the general woodgrain idea and run with that; OR you can do a little of both. i did a little of both:
 |
| (patterned paper: basic grey, my mind's eye, daisy d's, fancy pants, studio calico, the paper co, and a bit of glossy fern-printed cardstock that was the base of an old greeting card; woodgrain alphas: amy tangerine; ink: colorbox; cloud punch: fiskars; deer + tree paper-piecing patterns were from an ancient copy of scrapbooks etc; adhesives: staples brand gluetape runner, 3m foam tape, sewing machine) |
for some VERY cool takes on this challenge, get thee hither to the SOS blog, where my dt sisters have ROCKED the woodgrain *and* the colors in a big, big way!!! ciao, darlings! ♥
3 types of woodgrain, be still my heart! Lovely work, that deer is oh-so-cute!

Love that sewn on chipboard sentiment. Perfectly cute.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about this card that makes me think it was from like 3 years ago. I don't know why. It must be the products used on it. Or the coloring? I can't put my finger on it, but it looks so familiar. I think the lack of pink has thrown me off too. haha It is adorable as always!
