CCMC Color Challenge

Today is the "week three color challenge" for all the members of Create with Connie and Mary--how FUN.  Members who add their projects to the site will actually have the chance to win prizes! If you are not a member already you should be as you are really missing out.  For today’s color challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary we are combining Baja Breeze, Rose Red, Pear Pizzazz, and Very Vanilla.  What a totally yummy color combination.  I grabbed my Springtime Vintage Designer Series Fabric and Papers to design my card.
I first started with a 6” x 6” piece of Baja Breeze textured cardstock and folded it in half.  Then I added a piece of the fabric which I cut using the cupcake cozy shape from the Perfect Setting Bigz XL Die.  To distress the fabric I sprayed it with starch, wrinkled and crushed it all up, and then opened it up to air dry.  I used Sticky Strip to adhere the piece to my card.


I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to place three images across the top of the fabric.  The image comes from the Thanks for Caring set.  I used a marker to ink the part of the image that I wanted.  I love omitting sections of stamps as it just opens up the possibilities to what you can do. Do you love the flower?  I stacked four of the Fancy Flower punched pieces to make this cutie.

Now's the time to have some fun and go look at all designers cards for this color challenge they are so awesome!! I know you wont want to miss out. You can check them all out by clicking over to Create with Connie and Mary.
