SOS114: palette OR woodgrain

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)

actually, i fear i may have done too much of both. there's a lot going on here. which, admittedly, can be said about *MOST* of my cards, and my life generally, lol; and usually i like it. but i'm not so sure about this one. on the other hand, it has got the colors, AND three types of woodgrain, AND that super-cute deer. so i think i'm going to chalk this one up as "done" and "on time" and leave it at that!

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! ♥
