have a card for this week's dynamic duo combo of cajun craze and alway artichoke. i don't have cajun craze so i used really rust and some autumn terracotta cardstock from close to my heart. the layout is courtesy of the very talented chupa and her sketchbook saturday sketch challenge. all the stamps used are from stampin up! (fast and fabulous). the dies are also from stampin up! the other day i decided to take a look at the rules over at dynamic duos and saw that i can use several different neutral colors on my card in addition to the weekly duo. so for this card i added some kraft cardstock into the mix along with white. when i finished the card a few days ago i wasn't to sure about it, but it has grown on me and i'm quite happy with it!supplies: cardstock: pti white & kraft; close to my heart autumn terracotta; ink: su! really rust and always artichoke; stamps: stampin up!; dies: stampin up!; swiss dots embossing folder
Beautiful card, Rosie!
