It's That Time for another CR84FN Color Challenge and this week's color combo is one of my personal FAVS! I hope you come play along with us this week! You have until Friday, January 21st at 11:50 PM Eastern Time to post your Fabulous creation!
This is what I made for you this week. I hope it sparks some inspiration for you!
The first thing I did was create the center focal point. I cut out a scalloped square with my Spellbinders Nestability. Then I covered all the scallops with sticky notes so I could stamp the text without it getting on the scallops. Then I stamped the LOVE image in versamark and embossed it with my FAV ZING Brownie embossing powder. *Tip of the week - make sure you rub the adhesive off of the scallops that was left by the sticky notes or the embossing powder will stick there as well. I learned this the hard way and had to do it again! LOL! (I'll send that one to one of my less picky non-card making friends!) I distressed the scalloped edges with Ranger distressing ink. Then I have this new yummy dyed seam binding I bought from Prairie Bird Boutique. I kinda wound it through the scallops to add a feminine touch. I punched out a red heart and ran it through the Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder. I added a heart charm and velvet brad to finish the embellie off. I mounted it on a glittery piece of My Mind's Eye designer paper, then onto a piece of Pure Poppy and then onto the Dark Chocolate card! The velvet Making Memories scalloped ribbon was the finishing touch. I will CRY when I use this ribbon up!
Okay, that's my card for the CR84FN11 Color Challenge. Now go make something! Need MORE inspiration?

This is just gorgeous! I really like the ribbon through the nestie - looks so pretty. And the detail in the "o" is fab!!
Gorgeous Sue, have to say I love those colours together too, see if I can get to creating something this week.
Thanks for your kind thoughts. Whilst we are OK, there are many people who are not, but the human spirit is an amazing thing, there have been several thousand volunteers over the past few days (they have had to turn some away), my husband helped a lady yesterday to wash her china, and have a bit of a chat i suspect, whatever helps I guess.
Beautiful! Love the scalloped square with the ribbon twined through. Perfect Valentine!
Oh Sue...you knocked the challenge out of the park! Love how you weaves the ribbon through the scallops!
