I'm so excited to have been chosen as one of the "picks" from last week's challenge on Pals Paper Arts. Thanks to all the wonderful talented ladies over there who give us all an opportunity to share our work! Each week they announce the Artist Picks from the prior weekly challenge. Winners receive a special badge to let everyone know they are a Pals Paper Arts Artist Pick...like the one on our sidebar!
I was pleased and inspired so I decided to play along today. For this week, they have challenged us to use this wonderful color combination.
My card was created using Chocolate Chip, So Saffron and Very Vanilla card stock and patterned paper from October Afternoon. The stamp I used is one of four that comes in the Stampin' Up! set, A Flower For All Seasons.
Nestabilities were used to cut all the scallop circles which were sponged with Creamy Carmel. The watering can was colored using a blender pen and Basic Gray ink and I used Old Olive for the cute little frog. A Chocolate Chip bow was added as a finishing touch. So there you have it! Off to work I must go (I'd much rather stay home and play in my studio but I am grateful for my job!!). Make it a blessed day.
