Happy Saturday crafty peeps!!! Today marks a new challenge at Our Creative Corner! Anne Marie, of Stampin' Anne, is hosting again, and this week she has a color challenge for you based on this picture.
Make a project using yellow, kraft, and white or ivory, then upload it to the OCC. If you need inspiration, you will surely find it with the Design Team. The projects this week are probably my favorites. Everyone really outdid themselves, and our Guest Designer, Anna Christensen, from Anna Christensen Crafts, made a fabulous card as well!

Supplies:
I needed to make four sympathy cards for a family who just lost their dear beloved mother, but I thought I would make more of a keepsake, so I went with a tag. These colors were perfect for this...warm and soothing, but yet bright. I also wanted to use Tim's technique of Marbled Stains (does the title make since now?) for the Compendium of Curiosities II Challenge this week, sponsored by Eclectic Paperie, but I had an issue, and I was too late for the challenge. I am submitting this to Inspiration Journal's challenge of "May flowers" though.
From My Stash- white embroidery thread, flower (I have had them about 10 years), Bible verse stamp, kraft scrap, buttons
32 Degrees North- Dresden Foil Lace Trim
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love this. Everything about it! One of my favorite verses, and I needed the reminder today.
ReplyDeleteAnita, I just love how you did your tags! The marble technique looks fun and different. And I do agree, the colors look cheery and soothing. I love how your tags turned out too!
ReplyDeleteI think the markers really helped pull this creation together.

Hello Anita
ReplyDeleteA most delicious shade of Yellow you have chosen to make your sympathy Tags, the colour emulates sunshine light and warmth. The eye 'sees' the highly reflective Yellow flower before anything else, it is a POW!
And then I notice the butterflies, brilliantly coloured not too bright and not to muted, just right for me, your design is wonderful, and will brighten up any-ones day.
Smiles:)
