Brown Sugar Challenge #55

Hi all:

There's a challenge over at the Brown Sugar Challenge Blog to do a project using the colors blue, green and white.  I wanted to do a CAS card for this one.  And so I cut out a dress form by freehand, added "scalloped" lace edges to the form, and then used my Timmy alcohol inks to color it.  I added a scrap piece of lace, some bling and a simple sentiment to finish the card off.

The cardstock and patterned paper base is by Colorbok.

Challenge at Brown Sugar Blog

Hi friends:

Just wanted to quickly share a post of a  card created for a friend recently.

It's a step card. Which I find so easy to make (and you don't have to do a lot of measuring!)

I had this paper for such a long time, I can't even begin to tell you honestly what the name of it is, or who makes it.  But apparently, I 'hoarded' it...because there were only three sheets of the same paper still attached to each other (in plastic no less - LOL).  It's double sided, so it was perfect to make a side step card.  I added a birdcage/gazebo to the front, along with several little flowers and leaves from Spellbinders. The patterns are so "busy" by themselves that I didn't think that it needed a lot more embellishment.

And the more that I think about it.....I think that I held onto this paper because I think the pattern on both sides make it very useful for a male or female card.Which I don't find very often.  Leaves on one side, and a sorta plaid on the other side.  Not a dark blue, not a very light blue, but just the RIGHT blue!  Masculine and Feminine.  I just love it!

The patterns look really nice together don't you think?
