\"Weekly-Favorite\"<\/a>
\nBest of 2011<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nIt’s almost Christmas! Only a few more days! Are y’all ready? I still have lots of wrapping and baking to do. Not really sure why I’m always behind, but no matter how well I think I plan, it always comes down to the wire. And there’s always that one gift that goes missing. According to the tracking, it’s been doing a winter vacay in Colorado since Dec 13. How do I get a deal like that, lol?<\/p>\n

I made this for today’s Sketch Challenge (SC364<\/a>) and yesterday’s Color Challenge (CC354<\/a>) at Splitcoast. Wonderful sketch and it turns out the colors are kinda nice together. Not sure I would have ever come up w\/ the combo, but it’s growing on me.<\/p>\n

All images are Our Daily Bread designs<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>. With these colors, I figured I would have a tough time trying to make a last minute Christmas card, so I packed that idea in pretty quickly and went w\/ a spring card. I inked the clover w\/ the lime ink, wiped off the little clover blooms and inked them w\/ a wisteria marker. The sentiment was stamped first w\/ the rose coral ink then lined up and stamped again w\/ the grape ink. I used a coral marker to highlight a few of the words.<\/p>\n

I die cut it using the out of the box Nestie technique<\/span><\/a><\/span> and added a coral layer and lacy square layer out of dp.<\/p>\n

\nFor the circular element on the left, I die cut a piece of sparkly lime dp using a Cheery Lynn die. I used the same die on a piece of wisteria colored dp but did the emboss only. I attached the lime die cut on top and trimmed around the edges. Not really sure how this came about, but I put a coral like piece of c\/s under the area I cut out of the lime and attached the die cut back on top, but a little off.<\/p>\n

I added a cuttlebug embossed strip across the bottom, w\/ a little stickles and attached to a 5.50 x 4.25 card.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for stopping by!
