So, what about this week's colors?
Pretty....no surprise there. Now I am STILL waiting on my In-Colors. I am expecting them next week, so I had to use Certainly Celery and Elegant Eggplant. Green is probably my favorite color, so I decided to play down the Crumb Cake (gasp!) and create a card focusing on the green. I love the result. This is my Mom's birthday card. I gave it to her today and she loved it.
I used a button from my EXTENSIVE stash for the flower center. It's iridescent and it's so yummy! I had another button in mind. A vintage carnival glass beauty...I couldn't do it. I'm hoarding those! But I'll give you a peek at it!

ReplyDeleteTried to shoot you an email and keeps popping back at me. Glad the Pokemon and gals arrrived safe and sound. The remaining Pokemon glass went with Ben to college.
ReplyDeleteI bet she did love it. It is lovely Shelly. I don't blame you for not using that button. IT is beautiful. If you can't use it on your mother's card you might not be able to use it at all. :)
