Hey Everyone. I'm back with the newest Embellish Color Challenge for you.
Almost every week I think to myself that there is NO WAY I would have EVER put these colors together on my own. No way. But I always know I'm going to love them together so it's really something I do look forward to. And so is the little twist we add for you. The element we need you to add this week to your creation, along with the colors above, is LEAVES. You can do anything your heart desires. What pops into your mind when you think "leaves"?
{{And don't ya love the inspiration photo? That's our girl Tina (aka Travelling Mama).}}
The first thing that popped into my head for a "Leaves" element was a Poinsettia because the colored "flowers" of the plant are actually leaves themselves. {{Honest! I even looked it up and Wikipedia says so.}}
I could not believe I did not have any burgundy felt. I have every other color under the sun but not burgundy?!! Also, I've been trying to find the Spellbinders Poinsettia die to buy locally but I have had no luck so far. I ended up just drawing and hand cutting the leaves and I think it turned out ok even though it was ALOT bigger than I had planned on. {{Also, the more I played with it the more it started looking like a water lily to me. Maybe because it was 2:00 am and I was delirious.}}
I used my all time favorite Christmas stamp set......Good Cheer by Ali Edwards for my sentiment. I scattered a bunch of tiny Martha Stewart rhinestones on the bottom half of the card. Then I changed my mind about adding those on but it was too late. I couldn't get them off. Those little guys stuck!
Thank you so much for checking out my "leaves" card. Now it's your turn.....I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge. Bring it!
{{p.s....has anyone ever noticed that when I do the Embellish posts I spell "color" like they do in the US but when I do my regular posts I spell it "colour" like we do in Canada? Ok, am I getting delirious again? Randomness.}}
