Hello Stampers~
As we ring in the new year, let's be inspired by the numbers we'll use for the next 300 plus days! It's a limited supply challenge that revolves around 2012! So, here's your recipe: You can only use 2 colors. You can use 0 bling. You must use at least 1 embellishment and you can only have 2 layers! Let's see that creativity shine! If you upload to a gallery, please use the key word FLLCJAN12. Entries must be in before Friday, January 13th at 5PM EST.
For my card, I actually only used two layers, INCLUDING the card base...which just about killed me, I tell ya! My base card layer is a pretty raspberry color that I embossed with Cuttlebug's Paisley embossing folder. I also used my Scor Buddy to emboss a couple of lines on either side of the pattern, and finished it off with some faux stitching done with my White Opaque Pen. The adorable tiny hearts border and fantastic sentiment were made with Flourishes new Heartlines sentiment set. I colored in the words with my BG11 & BG13 Copic markers from the Water Collection. I used the BG13 to add polka dots to the letters.
The shape of my sentiment layer was made with the Spellbinders Labels Eighteen die. I sponged on a little ink for emphasis, and added some beautiful Light Blue Two-Tone Textured Ribbon, delicate mulberry flowers from the Prima Aire Collection, and a Whisper Heirloom Button for the center of the bow. The card size is 5-1/2" x 3-1/4".
