..... it's time for another colour challenge with CR84FN - and our colours this week are just so luxurious - kraft, pale yellow and gold!! Wonderful!
One of our Design Team has her birthday this week - so I'd like to send special Birthday Wishes to Stephanie Kraft - do drop by and leave her some love!! The inspiration photos are from Martha Stewart - and they're fab. And I know that many of you love to read the quotes each week - and this one is just great.
I stamped the flourishes onto the base card and embossed them with gold. I decided to do the same on the kraft card - it's such an elegant flourish design. I made my own pale yellow paper as I didn't have any in my stash!! I used a piece of the Brides Paper from Stampin' Up! (it was discontinued last year) - it has a really pretty pattern in the paper and when you add ink direct to the paper it creates a resist effect - very pretty. You can just see it at the edge of the yellow mount layer. I cut a backing mat from the paper and then stamped the dress on to the paper too. I added some gold ribbon and a birthday greeting - made with my lovely new Spellbinders Labels 20!! I added a thin gold border by using a gold marker pen.
Stamps: Kanban Set (from QVC); Personal Impressions - Wording Stamps by Paula Pascual; Flourish (QVC)
Inks: Versamark; Distress - Mustard Seed
Spellbinders: Labels Twenty (S5-026) #2
Accessoreis: Stampin' Up! - Bride Paper; Card and ribbon from stash

What a lush colour challenge and beautiful interpretation completely gorgeous. XOXO Zoe
Gold embossing on kraft! It's fab Deborah!
Striking the way you've used the gold & yellow together. It certainly is a lovely combination with the kraft. I love the way you used the dress theme from the inspirational photo too - nice & different.

I just love the look of this card, the color combo and the dress makes it look vintage to me. I know some ladies who would love this card! I'm sure Stephanie appreciated getting it as a Birthday greeting.
