Take Two

So, I finished my 2nd card! Just under the gun too, seeing as how I'm shooting for one thing a week and tomorrow is Friday.

This card took me 3 days to finish. I actually saw a color challenge for gray, white, and teal and thought it would be fun to enter. It was over at the EBTKS blog.

  I came up with my idea on Tuesday, did the background, die cut the ornaments, and played around with layout on Wednesday. I hit a wall as far as layout and embellishments, I just had too many ideas floating around so I slept on it.  Today I finished it.  The Stickles around the edges and ribbon was such a last minute addition, it wasn't even dry when I took the pictures!

Here's what I came up with

I'm going to do a similar card with shades of purple and pink.  These ornaments were inspired by actual ornaments my Baczi (grandmom) had. They were similar in color and super sparkly and truly vintage. My mom still has a few we put on our tree every year.  So, this card makes me smile :o)

Supplies

Cardstock: Stampers Select White, Aqua Mist, and Ocean Tides (PTI)

Oh, and here is what it looks like when I'm working

In other words, a mess. Seeing as how my desk is so small I need to make use of the floor as well. Someday I'll have a full size craft room...a girl can dream.
