Ok, so on to today's card. My mum's birthday is next Saturday. We're going to take her to Stoney River and also for mani-pedi's and massages. I cannot wait! Her favorite color is yellow..it's also one of my least favorite colors. It has taken me a couple of days to wrap my head around actually using the color on my card, though I knew I had to do it. I decided to work with the first Verve sketch for this month, seen here:
It just screamed at me to use it and I love love love the long cards. I don't make them so much, but when I do it's always fun. I am also playing along with the Moxie Fab "Grey is the new Black" challenge. We were to use grey in an innovative way. Well, I love the grey and yellow that I see everywhere. I even bought a grey and yellow pillow, though I have no grey and yellow in the house..lol. It was just too cute to leave at the store. :)
So, here is the card that resulted from the challenge marriage (haha):
It was a fun card to make and I just love my Prima felt flowers. They're so pretty. I used a couple of different SU embossing folders on the grey portions of the card. It was fun to mix them up a bit. Well, that's all I have for now. Come back tomorrow for my OTWC challenge card. Thanks for stopping by..have a great weekend!
