Raspberry Suite Color Challenge - Week 7




I created this card for this week's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge. The colors for the Week 7 challenge were Raspberry, Artichoke and Celery/Moss (and white if needed)... LOL, and I needed! My mojo always takes a HUGE nose dive after the fan club gallery opens on the 15th... LOL, it's kinda like a mini hibernation period before I gear up to start working on the next month's items. Suuuuuure it is! :P


I started with a standard A2 card base of Raspberry Fizz, which was stamped in Fresh Snow with the 2nd largest polka dot from Polka Dot Basics. Next, I scalloped a piece of Whisper White CS and attached it to the card base. I used one of the Nestabilities Labels Four dies to cut out a piece of white CS that I adhered to the card, then added the grosgrain ribbon and sentiment. The adorable elephant is from the Animal Crackers set from My Cute Stamps. That elephant has the sweetest little expression, I just love how happy he is! I made a little boo-boo and accidentally cut off his tail while I was trimming the image, so I just drew a replacement on with one of my pens. Shh, don't tell! ;) To finish up, I added a little sprig of leaves.


Have a great one! :)

  5. This is so adorable, Heather! I love how you used the colors and the elephant holding the branch! I know what you mean about mojo leaving you after a big release. I usually feel the same way after a PTI release. In fact, I don't think I have stamped again since this last release.
