The Midweek Throwdown Challenge on the OWH Stars & Stamps blog this week is a color challenge. The colors to use are Green and Yellow.
I learned something tonight.. I don't have much pattern papers in the color combos of Green and Yellow, or even green and yellow ones that I liked together... I started on this card shortly after 8.. it's now 11:50. I already had the image colored, so all I had to do was find some papers. I would've never guessed it would've taken me so very long to do so. I looked through hundreds, if not a thousand.. ha ha.. of pattern papers. I finally chose some that had Green and Yellow in them.. along with some other colors.
When I got to the sentiment.. I was too tired to dig through stamps to find the sentiment I wanted, so I just typed it up in MS Word and printed it out. Good thing I did because sitting here now, I don't think that I have a stamp that says "I Love You Beary Much".
This adorable image is from Bugaboo Stamps.. his name is Theodore.. ain't he cute as can be??
For this card I used:
stamp: Bugaboo digi stamp, typed sentiment
card stock: Brown from XpedX, white
pattern paper: My Mind's Eye Boo To You
accessories: Nestabilities dies, brown brads, hole punch, Peeled Paint Distress Ink, foam applicator, BigKick, Copic Markers and Dimensionals
thanks for looking ~
have a great airborne day!
God Bless All Our Military.. each and every one of them
Pam, what a precious card. I love your computer generated sentiment with this adorable image. Sometimes I wonder how I ever get a full box of cards done because I have many days that you had where it takes me hours and hours just to finish one card. Thank goodness I get some day that I can spit them out in a hurry, but not too many of those days. All your fabulous efforts your put into this card really shows.
ReplyDeletePam the papers and colors you used on this card are so much like spring and instantly made me smile. That is a great image and it is colored perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, Pam! Putting papers together is HARD. LOL Great job. :)
ReplyDeleteWell all that effort paid off, Pam, this card is adorable!
ReplyDeleteAll your efforts were worthwhile as this is such a cute card and design. I have the same problem coordinating papers and layers a lot of the time.
ReplyDeletePam, this cards was well worth all of your efforts! Beautiful coloring job and the papers just really bring him to life too. Just perfect! Thanks for playing in our Midweek Throwdown Challenge at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love the papers and of course the coloring! Way to go!!!
ReplyDeleteI used the same digi stamp. It is so cute. But I love your coloring and card better!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I love the papers you used-especially since it took so long to find them. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your card for this week's challenge. The image is adorable and the papers you chose go so well together.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the papers -- and yes, I often struggle with matching just the right papers. I start out very neat and organized -- then when I am finished I think I've pulled every piece of paper out LOL I love the bear -- he is just too cute. Great coloring job too.
