I'm a little excited about this, being the first one of the year and all, but mostly because I missed the last one. I know, right? They only happen once a month, you'd think I could come up with something....
So this challenge was to choose your favorite project from 2011, and share that (again, in some cases, I'm sure). Then, use that project as inspiration for a new project.
Here is my 2011 project:
I really loved the copper embossing on the Dark Chocolate cardstock, so I used that as the inspiration for today's project:
What's in it: (everything is PTI except the embossing powders)
Cardstock: Vintage Cream, Dark Chocolate
Stamps: Rosie Posie, Harvest Berries, Tea for Two Additions (sentiment)
Ink: Dark Chocolate
Dies: Rosie Posie, Limitless Layers 1.75"
Impression Plate: Woodgrain
Ribbon: Dark Chocolate grograin
Embossing powder: Ranger- Copper, Superfine Gold
That's it; thanks for having a look. I'm off to check out everyone else's creations now. I hope you all have a fabulous day!

I just ordered BOTH of those sets in December, but I would never have thought to stamp them together...they look AMAZING! Your copper and neutral color scheme is spectacular, Kay! A stunning card, so unique!
ReplyDeleteCopper and dark chocolate--absolutely amazing. Now, I need some of that ep. And, those two stamp sets work really well together. I never would have thought of that.
ReplyDeleteKay, why have I not purchased any copper EP?! What you did with this on the dark chocolate is nothing short of incredible! I love it...and the composition is dead-on. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe copper on brown with the gold embossing is terrific. A wonderful model for a male card.
