(wink)
The song you are hearing right now?
It's what's playing right now at CCG.
Love how it TOTALLY suits the inspiration photo this week!





{ The Design }Here is the card I made for the challenge. I managed to get some creating done. I had a terrible time getting good lighting this week. I was hoping for sun today, but to no avail. So I had to take the photo indoors and it was yucky. Either my point and shoot camera is a terrible one, or I just stink at photography! I played with the different camera settings and lighting, but it photographed either too dark, too yellowy, too grainy, and way too frustrating. So I added the glow. I like the pretty glow!

{ My Inspiration }


{ Color Combos Galore #182 } { Pencil Lines Sketch 227 } The Color Combo: The Designer's Challenge was to create a tone on tone project using three of the colors and one color as the accent. I chose the silver as my accent. The last color was a little tricky because I meant it to be a gray with a hint of green. It didn't realize until after the Reveal, when I looked at my bedroom comp, that it hinted more green than gray.

The Sketch: When I saw this sketch, I knew I wanted to make a card. Simple. Easy. A bow in place of the title and the HOME stamp was my journaling spot.


{ Some Details }
The Deets: I really tried to make a bow. Key word: tried. I really don't know how to do them. I will keep practicing though! I think it looks flat and smushed, lol!

In the second closeup, get ready for this....I whipped out the corrugator-crimper-maker thinga-majiggy from WAY BACK WHEN. I used a 2.5" square piece of cardstock, punched the edges, then ran it through the crimper. I think that is the width you need to punch once all around.

I used two different lace punches, sanded the edges a bit and chalked them. I ended up having to chalk the HOME image with pencil because I didn't have a deeper gray ink.

This color challenge is over now, however a new one will be revealed later on tonight. Stop by and play along with us, Studio Calico's Waleska Neris will be joining us again and the colors are divine!

Thanks for looking!
Have a fantabulous day!
xoxo
