Good morning everyone!! I am sitting here watching huge snowflakes fall here in Central Texas...it's just beautiful and sooo got me in the mood to go to Colorado for da Mudder's tea party!! It seems Shaun White, the Olympic Snowboarder, has been practicing there and really upset Abner the Abdominable Snowman for disturbing his white space. We were to add a little color so everything wasn't so white. I added a few red *flags* and some flower silhouettes to add a little spice to his boring world!!
The color challenge was all about the Olympics, too. We were to pick which event we wanted to enter. I entered the first one to add one color (red) and a neutral (black). My dessert was the silver pearls.
This is also for the DDC challenge hosted by Fran (Francie G.)...it's a 1-2-3 challenge. I used:
1 ribbon
2 images
3 silver pearls.
You can find the DDC challenge in the challenge forum post # 67. Be sure to add DDC to the keywords section of your upload so we can find your card.
The image from Clear Dollar Stamp's Plumes and Blooms set were stamped twice with Versafine Onyx Black and embossed with clear ep. The outside edge was embossed with a square Nestability and the ribbon and silver pearls finish it off. TFL and have a great day!!

What a stunning card! It is the perfect balance of color and white space. I love the pop of red and the pearls. Super terrific job on all the challenges!

I love yer right purty card, Miss Joan. That strip of red ribbon agin all the black and white is mighty strikin'. I sees you and that red-lovin' Miss Anne are over achievers cuz ya already got Miss Fran's DDC challenge done!
Hey, didja hear about da Mudder bein' in tracshun an all? I done heard she wuz tryin' to do some triple-toed thingie or whatnot and landed on her geezer bustin' up some of her bones. She even got a fat lip outta it. Tex and I wuz tryin' to feed her sum of Tex's yummy sundae and it jes plum slobbered all down her chin and all. Tweren't purty at all seein' her layin' there like all black and blue with ice cream runnin' down her chin. She might like it iffin' ya went and sat a spell with her. Don't say nuttin' about her bein' too old to be triple-toein, though. She gots a little fiesty with me when I suggested it to her.

The red is so striking with the black and white. Abner probably has never seen such beauty. Oh, of course, snow on evergreens is stunning but Abner is so past that scene!
