Hello friends!!!! I am SO excited to be a hostess for this years FALLIDAY FEST!!!!!!
I have recently been trying more ideas, you know, ignoring "rules" for products and just making stuffs.
That is where this challenge comes in to play! I LOVE the song from Dolly Parton Coat of Many Colors and it fits perfectly with my challenge. Read the lyrics below and let your imagination go!!!!! Celebrate in color!
And oh I did not understand it, for I felt I was rich.
And I told them of the love my momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors was worth more than all their clothes
For my card I used a piece of Canson watercolor paper, some Nuance powders by Magenta, Stampin Up stencils, Stampin Up stencil paste, some Nuvo acrylic metal paint for splatters and some of the FABULOUS Holiday catalog washi tape and Copper foil paper from Stampin Up. The die is from Concord and 9th! UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS: 1.

Had fun making this card for the Coat of Many Colors challenge- used the faux suede technique, using a crinkle cut vegetable slicer for my background, applying kiwi ink. Added some sparkle with glitter glue, and embossed and colored my 2 fairies and toadstool homes. Finished with a large die cut flower with sequins and pink baubles. Here's FF17KelliJo Happy World

Well, if color is what you are looking for I think I hit it big. I used the actual idea of a coat of many colors for inspiration and paper pieced a alcohol background as the coat itself for my Harper girl.
Love the song! Have you ever heard the pianist from SELAH sing and play this song? I used a striped background for my take on your fun challenge! Also took my idea from the lyrics about her mom sewing her the coat:
