CC168 Always

Photo Details

Poster: imastampin

I am loving these colors. My dh and I are buying a home and the master bedrooms has these colors. I am excited about that. I love these colors together.

I used my cuttlebug and inked the negative sides of both folders. The chocolate ink on the birds and swirls and versamark on the chocolate chip. I then clear embossed the distressed stripes. I love that look. Have I ever mentioned that I love clear ep? Well, I DO! The heart was clear embossed and then I sponged over it with the chocolate chip ink, cut it out and mounted it on the sage shadow, cutting very close. The sentiment was stamped on very vanilla and matted with both the sage shadow and the chocolate chip and popped up on dimensionals. I added two ribbons for that rich luxurious look. I love the result. What do you think?

This really works for me! You used 2 different CB folders and it looks so well-coordinated. Don't know that I could achieve that. Using the negative by inking the folder looks awesome, as does your double ribbon and that gorgeous heart. A great success.

The cuttlebugged brown panel looks so rich that it looks like velvet. Beautiful card.
