Today is the day AFTER the third Wednesday of the month and this is my Ready, Set, Go Challenge Card! The 3 Musketeers--Kelly, Jeanette and me--are back with another challenge for January-our 32nd month! That means we are coming to the end our third year--YAY! We are posting a day late as all three of us had a Dueling Darlings post yesterday, on the 15th.
Jeanette provided the challenge for December: She asked each of us to give her a color and an embellishment. She took all three of colors and the embellishments-then asked us to make a card with them.
Colors--Red, Plum and Bright Blue
Embellishments--Twine, Enamel Dots and Ribbon
Colors--Red, Plum and Bright Blue
Embellishments--Twine, Enamel Dots and Ribbon
Ready? Set? Go!
I thought for a long time about this challenge and wondered how I could use all three of the colors together, when they really do not go together! First, I picked a Heidi Swapp Stencil called Lattice and used my Taylored Expressions Brushes and Tim Holtz Oxide Inks for the background--red and bright blue--check! Then I used a retired Stampin' Up image called Amazing Birthday. and inked it up with Rich Razzleberry-a plum color-check! I added the Stampin' Up Banner Dies behind the sentiment. The ribbon is Rich Razzleberry and I used white twine to tie a bow. I added red Enamel Dots--another check! So--I did use all three colors and I added all three embellishments. I met the challenge!
Here is the inside of my card.

Woo Hoo! You did it, Barb! I was like you - the colors just didn't want to play together nicely. But the sense of accomplishment! Don't you feel it? I love the way you used the stencil on your artsy/creative card. Very nice!

Great Card Barb. I think that would be a challenge to incorporate all those colors but you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteBarb - WOWZA! This is a gem! Such a pretty, pretty card with the vibrant colors and the stencil work - so fancy! Such a clever use of the ribbon and the twine perfectly down the center - what a wonderful inclusion of all the challenge requirements. Fabulous!
