Paper Cutz Challenge #88
Hooray, Friday and time for another Paper Cutz Challenge. This week Mary gave us a color challenge. I don't know why but I usually have a bit of a panic attack over color challenges. Mary asked us to use pink, blue, green, purple and white. I decided to make a quick, simple and easy tall card (or in my case, wide and skinny) which is cut at 8 1/2" x 8" and scored at 4" from white cardstock. It seems my time is so limited since we put our house up for sale. All I do is clean this big five bedroom behemoth house to keep it looking good for viewing. Which means I can't make a mess in my craft room. I'm trying to take it all in stride, but I'm tired of cleaning. Good thing hubby and I tend to be neat. Anyway back to my card...I topped it with a blue and white gingham from DCWV Nana's Kitchen stack. I used my Plantin' Schoolbook cartridge to cut the scallops...one from green cardstock the other from Bo Bunny dots. I also used the same cartridge to cut my sentiment from purple cardstock. I embellished with a green polka dot ribbon that I gathered at each scallop by tying with twine then added purple buttons with twine bows. I just can't seem to make anything lately without adding polka dots. I'm obsessed with them.
