Welcome to Week One CR84FN Color Challenge 43
Speaking of great things, don't you just love the color selection that we will be working with for the next 2 weeks at CR84FN! ( Yes, I am still the Guest Designer! and lovin' it!) The colors are so warm and cozy. Green is another one of my favorite colors!
And I think the sentiment is wonderful! It makes such good sense! I'm gonna try to remember that when I start wishing I had a bigger house, etc.....
On to my card...
I used the Viva La Verve November 2011 Sketch Week #2 designed by Jackie Pedro.
The gorgeous DP papers are Blossomwood (K&Co). The browns and creams were so beautiful. This sketch called for many layers and I felt this DP would be perfect for that.
I used many different dies to achieve the different layers.
The sentiment is stamped on cream card stock that was cut with a Circle die (Spellbinders). Before I lifted it out of the die, I sponged the circle with Pear Pizazz (SU) ink. I then spritzed it with Champagne Mist (SU)(which I had mixed with alcohol and put into a mini spritzer bottle by Ranger)
The sparkles do not show up very well in the photos, but IRL it has a very pretty effect.
Then I stamped the sentiment - Making a Statement (Verve).

After inking and assembling all the layers, I tied a bow with Mistletoe Seam Binding (My Craft Spot), and added some brown mini jewel brads (American Craft). You may also notice the paper piercing around the back panel.
