It's time for another color challenge. It is Kristina's 35th Color Challenge. I thought these colors were very pretty. I decided to use the A Happy Heart stamp set again. I also joined them with the Windsor Knot paper since it has the Chocolate Chip and So Saffron in it. I stamped the heart image in Saffron and Baja Breeze and cut them out. I adhered the Saffron one to the Chocolate Chip striped paper and then added the Baja one using dimensionals. The greeting was stamped in Chocolate Chip and punched out with the word window punch. I also added a little Baja button that I put some Chocolate Chip grosgrain through. Did you notice the paper piercing. I know some of you do not like it but I really think it can make a big impact on a card. Just give it a little practice until you get comfortable with it and then you will be as crazy about it as I am. Just remember to use the lines on the template as a guide so your lines are straight and even. I did feel like it was little flat so I added some dazzling diamonds here and there (just a touch) on the Baja heart. What do you think? It's another rainy day here so it's not the best photo. What's with me and rainy day stamping? That's a great time to stamp, don't you think. It's just not the best time to take photos.
