better late than never…

18 Nov

Last Tuesday, the color challenge was posted- cc192-mod-christmas CC192 - Basic Grey, Pacific Point and Certainly Celery. I added a dash of Real Red.

This is my swap card for Hostess Club tonight – using Sketch SC160 as well. Ugh! Difficult sketch- not my fav, and it looks like I forgot a part of the sketch according to the link. But the color combo is certainly fun!

This week’s color challenge (CC193) is Basic Black, Kraft and Real Red – another great combo.

Details: CS Colors mentioned above, Basic Gray ink, Real Red narrow grosgrain and Crystal Effects on the tree toppers.

Tonight is hostess club and our project focus on Acetate. We are doing the Box in a Bag and an Acetate card for Thanksgiving.

This is my first time doing a Box in a Bag, and I thought I’d try it with Acetate. If you are looking for acetate, please refer to my exhaustive investigation into this serious matter. I didn’t stamp on either sheet this time, but if you choose to, you need to use Stazon and a delicate touch!

Thanksgiving Window card: Stamp set- Season of Friendship, Holidays & Wishes, Cardstock- Chocolate Chip, Garden Green, Very Vanilla, Office Depot Transparancy Sheet, Inks- Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Really Rust, Old Olive, Accessories- Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon, Earth Elements brads, 1 3/8″ square punch. To make the window, I punched out 4 square on scratch paper and adhered them onto the Chocolate Chip piece of cardstock, lined up evenly. Then just punch again at the squares.

Snowflake Box in a Bag: Ski Slope DSP, Office Depot transparancy sheets, Riding Hood Red cardstock for box base (inside bag) and for tabs. Accessories- Round Tab punch, Red Riding Hood striped grosgrain, 1/4″ hand held punch, Scallop Edge punch, Large & Small Felt Flurries, Pretties Rhinestone brad, silver cord.

Thanks for stopping by! Daralyn, are you happy I posted? :D See u tonight!
