Sympathy with Color

WELCOME TO THE THURSDAY COLOR CHALLENGE

I don't know about you...but I love challenges!! It gets my creative juices flowing. I think my favorite type of challenge is the color challenges. These challenges really make you think of how you are going to layer your cardstock and what type of stamps you will use. What is your favorite challenge?

I did this card in one of my Card Buffets that I just put on a few weeks ago. But I did it in Elegant Eggplant cardstock and Very Vanilla. I should have posted a picture of it so you could see it. I will get one on here so you can see the difference it makes with just color changes.

On the Crumb Cake cardstock I used the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder. I haven't used that folder in a long time. I love this embossing folder because it as a WOW factor to the card. It is also a elegant accent to the card. Are you wondering how I did the flowers? It is called the Thumping Technique. It is where you take your lightest color and ink your stamp and then take 2 - 3 different shades of the Stampin' Up! markers and thump your markers on the stamp in various places. You will then huff on your stamp and stamp to cardstock. This is a wonderful and easy technique to use to give your project a wonderful and colorful pop! I finished off the card with the wonderful Silver Bakers Twine. I love this twine. It comes in Gold or Silver. And you can find it in the Occasions Catalog. If you like and want it...you only have another month before it is gone.
