Today is Wednesday, and Cathy at the Color Throwdown Challenge has come up with another wonderful color palette for us to use! I translated these to the SU colors of
Kraft, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip and Old Olive.....great fall colors! I also decided to use a sketch from
Kristin Beuter's new fun sketch challenge, Just Us Girls! Here is the sketch:
This is my first experience using Unity Stamps, and they were quite nice!! Cute designs that just begged to be paper-pieced, I broke out some Basic Grey paper and went to work:
The Unity set I used was Giggle Tree; I added some background swirls from SU's Trendy Trees and a sentiment from My Favorite Things. Nesties provided my ovals & scallops, and the plaid DP is SU's Night & Day Specialty Paper which was sponged with some Creamy Caramel ink to alter its color. My little golden apples were just punched using a 1/4" circle punch, then sponged for depth. As I look at the card now, I think it needs some "ground" beneath the apples, so I will go back and add that later!! LOL! They look like they are floating in the air!
Be sure to check out the
Color Throwdown blog to see what the Unity is donating this week and check out what the others have come up with---if you want to play along, you can leave your link with Mr Linky--it's fun, so join along! If you have any specific questions about anything you see here, email me!
