Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!
New month, new challenge starting today. Week one brings us a BIRTHDAY theme on the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Create any paper craft with a birthday theme, male, female, kids, card, scrapbook or even home decor. We hope to see you in the gallery.
#819 BIRTHDAY
I almost sat out for this week's BIRTHDAY Challenge, running out of time. So here's what happened. I'm in my craft room, playing along with a couple of challenges. For the sketch, it's a Case The Designer theme from Stampin' Up! Only Challenge.
Then I went looking for a colour challenge. I tried two different combos and both the cards were total flops (in my opinion). One was Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, Strawberry Slush, and Daffodil Delight. The other colour combo was Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie, and Lemon Lime Twist. I just couldn't make it work! So at 9:30 pm, Wednesday night, 2.5 hours before deadline, I give it another go, with two colours. Turns out so much better, I like this card!
Products used:
- Stamp Set: With You In mind
- Card Stock: Thick Basic White, Pumpkin Pie
- Ink Pads: VersaMark, Flirty Flamingo
- Stampin' Write Markers: Melon Mambo
- Accessories: Heat Tool, White Embossing Powder, Eyelet Blooms Die (Product Of The Month of April), Stampin' Dimensionals
No card is complete without finishing the inside of the card and the envelope. Keep it simple with a little card stock and coordinating image. I even die cut the envelope flap to coordinate.
Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for BIRTHDAY week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.

ReplyDeleteI also like to combine challenges as much as possible, but sometimes one of them just doesn't work out and I have a much better time if I focus on just one, so I understand what you're saying with the color challenges! Great job sticking with it until you got a card you liked, love the use of that big die for the background. Thanks for playing along with us at SUO Challenges!
