Blogger’s challenge #74 Colors: Baja Breeze, Chocolate chip, Very Vanilla or White
November 14th, 2008 by Connie
Lisa came up with another awesome color challenge prompting us to use one of the new " In Colors" Baja Breeze.
Take a tour on over to the Blogger’s challenge list here and see more wonderful work.
I decided to do something with less stamping and more paper pieceing. A wonderful excuse to use my " Big Shot" machine.
I rarely case an idea from the catty, but could not resist this sample on page #27 of Stampin Up’s Holiday mini catalogue.
I used the large Circle Scallop and Bird with Leaves and Flower Bigz dies. All of these dies can be viewed in the Holiday mini; or, on my Stampin Up Website, under the category of Dies, then click on BigZ dies. You can also click on the " Shop Now" link on my sidebar.
Colors for this card: are Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turqoise, Very Vanilla. Patterned paper is from " Patterns Designer Series Papers - Baja Breeze. I stamped the Turquoise background using white craft ink and a wonderful little set called "Boho Backgrounds".
Thanks for stopping by
