And the next Krisitina Werner Colour Challenge! :) #17
Okay I know I just loaded up last week’s colour challenge…….a bit later, but I got in on this one early for a change! Thanks to Chantelle for the heads up 
This time the Challenge was for the following colours:
My kind of Colours!!!
Okay for this first card, I used the 3 colours to create 3 levels, so on the Rose red carstock I added 4 squares that have been stamped with the Paisley background stamp with Sage shadow, and Regal rose ink. I have coloured the flower from the Pretties kit with a sponge dauber with Regal rose and Rose red ink pads. I added a knot of wide grosgrain ribbon and placed a hat pin loaded with pearls, and crystals into the knot.
I like this card far more than the first card. I like how the little vines in the heart match the dress on Kristina’s Sample. I used Rose red for the base, which I stamped with the Linen Background stamp. I then added a strip of Regal rose cardstock that I have faux stitched. The strip of Sage shadow cardstock I stamped with the little berry twig from the Always stamp set, then adding some wide Regal rose grosgrain ribbon. The heart I inked up with my markers, and then cut out. I have punched lots of little circles and then attached them to the underside to give it that frilly look. Lastly I added the greeting “Everything” with a whisper white stamp pad.
Here is a scrapbook page of me with my bestie! I am still very frustrated with the photography, but I will have to just get over it for the time being because I can’t do any better here in this temporary house!
I used Regal rose for the base, which I stamped with the large swirls from the Baroque Motifs stamp set with Rose red ink. I mounted the photo onto Rose red cardstock, and then added a strip of Sage shadow that I have added 3 rows of paper piercing and a knot of wide grosgrain regal ribbon, with a beaded hat pin. I then did the greeting under the photo, which is two words taken from the Tres’Chic Background stamp. I then used a large flower from the Pretties kit, placing some punched cardstock and a half pearl in the centre. Just to finish it off I added a few random half pearls around the bottom of the page.
And just to stick to tradition……..a little Love note. I am so addicted to them at the MO! Anyhow I have stamped the Sage background with the little floral circle stamp randomly. Next adding a strip of Regal rose, and Rose red cardstock and then Whisper white which I have stamped the little bird from the Always stamp set, with Sage shadow ink. Lastly adding two little brads.
SOOOOOO there you have it! I am finally starting to feel a bit better, and managing to get some oxygen up my nose! But the cough is hanging on…… probably driving the neighbours crazy with all my hacking…..well you probably didn’t want to hear about that either LOL!!!.ah well that is the season ( well that is what I tell myself!)
Talk soon,
Ps…. We got our flight details today for the Incentive Trip!!! YAY! It is acutally starting to seem real now….hmm better see if the swimming cozzie still fits after all the winter chocolate!!!
