"Because of You" Crazy 4 Challenges





Happy Saturday!  We have a new and fun challenge for you this week at Crazy 4 Challenges!   Check out the C4C blog for more challenge details at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C221).  



This week's challenge is 
a trio of colors
blue, green, and purple



For my card I am using Verve's Let It Be, Dream Big, Joyful Blooms, and Sweet Scallop Tag stamp sets along with Verve's Cut Above Joyful Blooms and Dreamy Leaves,  and Sweet Scallop die sets.   I combined some Prima Madeline designer papers to coordinate with the color challenge.   I added some ink distressing and sewing machine stitching.   I stamped and die cut the sweet scalloped frame using dark chocolate ink.  I stamped the sentiment in royal purple ink to give me the final color for the trio of colors for the challenge.    I die cut the Joyful Blooms using SU text designer papers.   I stamped the flower outlines using dark chocolate ink.  I layered the flowers using foam tape.  I topped the flowers with a gold pearl.  I stamped the leaves and added some ink distressing and Copic veining accenting.   I finished my card with some rustic twine topped with a prism cut turquoise dot.  

 

I am playing along with this week's Mojo Sketch.  I looked at the sketch and obviously focused more on the tall and skinny concept than the sketch.  My card took on a look all of its own.   I really had no clue I was off that much until I loaded my card.    I am playing along with this month's Curtain Call Challenge!  My card works perfectly with these colors!  




Check out what the rest of the team did with this week's challenge!




As always thanks so much for stopping by!
