Bloggers Challenge – Brown, Sage and Neutrals

March 6, 2009 By Connie | 17 Comments

Quick post here, I’m headed out of town (Thursday) and getting ready for this to post on Friday for the Bloggers’ Challenge!  Our challenge for today was to use Brown, Sage and Neutrals.  I actually like this color combination!  This could also be considered a limited supplies challenge…cause almost everything in my studio is packed and ready to go!

I think Rustic Rooster is a great Hostess set…I was happy I finally earned it!  I knew as soon as I saw the challenge that I wanted to use this set.  Of course…it was still unmounted, so I had to spend time to do that first!  I started with the background script stamp and inked it with Sage Shadow Craft ink on Naturals Ivory cardstock.  Let it dry, and then stamped the Rooster with Chocolate Chip on top.  I layered it on Chocolate Chip.  Then I used a piece of designer paper from Autumn Vine (retired in the winter mini) and overstamped the swirl design on it with Chocolate Chip and tore the edge.  I layered the designer paper on Close to Cocoa and stamped the swirl on it and tore the edge of it, too.  I sponged around the edges of each piece with Chocolate Chip.  Finally, I tore the edge of the base card and sponged along it.  I added For You pennant stamped in Chocolate Chip on Naturals Ivory.  And added a Cocoa button with linen thread in it.

Well…got to run!  I’ll check out the other Bloggers’ creations when I return on Sunday!

Set:  Rustic Rooster, Fresh Cuts
C/S:  Naturals Ivory, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Sage Shadow, Autumn Vine DSP (retired)
Inks:  Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow Craft ink
Other:  Cocoa button, linen thread, sponge dauber

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Connie, yay, I have seen Rustic Rooster in person … its in our hostess pre order sneak peek here in Oz and I wasn’t convinced. But this card is making me change my mind! Great card, love your layout.
