Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla, and Basic Black.
Now, I have to say that when I saw this color combo, "collage" style and One4Joy came to mind... So, I decided to use LOTS of flowers, clock face from Heidi Swapp and this awesome quote from There She Goes.
The background was run through the Cuttlebug Embossing folder, I think named Houndstooth.
The Sahara Sand panel with swirls was made by stamping the Spooky Tree from There She Goes in VersaMark and embossing in Vanilla.
I stamped the sentiment in Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink onto the Basic Grey designer paper. Next, I sponged the edges in Sahara Sand. I stamped the image on Basic Black in VersaMark and embossed it in Very Vanilla. I cut out words and adhered them to the Sentiment. I also stamped the image in Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink onto Sahara Sand and cut out several words, too.
