This card is for today's SCS Color Combo Challenge (CC257)! This week is all about Chocolate Durango Shadows! We are using Chocolate Chip, Dusty Durango, and Sage Shadows! This week's dessert option is Patterns! Whether you stamp your own patterns, use dp, or create pattern with texture, try to use two or more patterns!
This card is Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC53)! This week is all about Easel Cards! This one is my first. Since Barbara Anders is the new FOF blog team member, I thought it only appropriate to case another one of her cards for this week's Feature Stamper Challenge(FS157)! Here is the card I used for inspiration!
Please check out this blog post for more details! Thanks so much!
NOTE: I know this is one honking bow. I did try a smaller one and a sheer one, but it just did not look right without this big fou fou one! I did try! Also, I wanted to try a 5.5 easel sized card. Now, while I think this was really easy, I would rethink this size easel for picture taking purposes. Getting the picture took longer and was harder to do than to make the actual card. Just thought I would share.
