Girly Card? NOT!

This week the design team wanted to take the challenge sketch but add a little twist, try to do the sketch and not make the card girly.  I really didn't think it was a big deal until I started trying to make the card and realized, yeap, I'm girly. 

I used Echo Parks "For The Record"...which was my attempt at using non-girly paper, LOL.  I'm not sure if I pulled it off 100% or not, my female personality comes through no matter if I want it to or not.

Be sure to join in the challenge...there is still plenty of time.

Black and White With A Splash

Hi Everybody...it's Lori here with my version of the current challenge * drawing inspiration from your closet.  I have to admit most of the time you'll find me in black and white with a splash of color...so this card seemed to fit me to a T and looks like majority of my closet :)

I created the handmade flower and the card using Echo Park's "For the Record". This is a super cute collection that is so versatile.  The red pearls are from KaiserCraft Basics and they really add a nice detail.  It's the little things that can really bump a card to a mini work of art. Here is the best part...there are a ton of KaiserCraft Basic rhinestones and pearls in the bargain bin right now for just $1...so stock up.

For the leaf flourish I used a sticker from For The Record and applied it to a sheet of cardstock and then cut it out so there was a pop of color around the edge. Creating that border really made it stand out. 

I can't wait to see what next weeks challenge will be and share my version of it with you.  Have a great week until next Thursday.

Hugs
