CR84FN10 - It Takes a Long Time to Grow an Old Friend!

It's time for another FUN Color Challenge at CR84FN10!  Come play with us!  Last week's first challenge was such a HUGE success that I encourage you to give it a shot!  You have until Friday, January 14th at 11:50 Eastern time to post your card!  Here are this week's colors to play with:

For my card this week, I decided to do what I like to do BEST when it comes to any type of challenge and that is to try something new and out of the ordinary (for ME at least!)  I also want to start using some of the supplies I have been collecting for years!  I pulled out my Making Memories paints and went to town on my stamp!  I kinda like how abstract the image looks.  I hope you like it!

I stamped the painted image onto some white cardstock that I had stamped some text on (Yes, it's my FAV Tim Holtz Christmas text stamp that you can't read but I just LOVE the font!)  Tip - I first stamped on paper and then onto the cardstock so I could achieve the lighter aqua color.  I distressed and ripped the edges, mounted that onto FAB polka dot paper and then mounted all of it onto cardstock.  Some buttons, some ripped graph paper, a border edge, and a FAB sentiment finished off my card.

In this pic you can see how juicy the flowers are!  They aren't perfect crisp images and that's what I liked about stamping in paint.

Here you can see the sentiment which is a rub on!  I pulled it out of my stash because I LOVED what it said paired with the flowers.  I KNOW exactly who needs a card right now and I'm going to mail it to her!  The border is an edge off of DP paper and I used it to tie all of the colors together.

This style is very different from last week's card but I hope this encourages some of you who are hesitating to play along!  I LOVE it when I read, "This is my first challenge!"  I also LOVE it when you have been playing forever!  So grab those inks and papers and stamps and whatever, and go make something!
