It's Wednesday and you know what that means....another Diva Coffee Break Designs (DCBD) challenge. Guess what? We started our own blog!!!
Click on over and check it out. Heidi and Julie have worked very hard putting this together for the team. While you're there, you can add the DCBD blog to your blog reader or sign up to receive updates through email. You'll also notice that we added 13 new design team members to the group. We have some fun new challenges (and prizes!) in the works and we hope you'll join in the fun.
So, are you ready to see this week's challenge?
I decided to combine this color challenge with Julee's Mojo Monday sketch.
All of the Tempting Turquoise paper came from the Pink Flamingo designer series paper. It's such a striking color to use with Whisper White and Basic Gray. I love the combination.
Green Galore, on the other hand, is a color I seldom touch so this truly was a challenge for me. I decided to keep it to a minimum by only adding a Green Galore flower. I took one of the small white flowers from the Pretties Kit and colored it with my Green Galore marker. Next I took my Aqua Painter and brushed water over the flower to dilute the color so it wouldn't be so bright. I used a Clear Rhinestone Brad to hold the two flowers together and attached them to the card with Mini Glue Dots.
I used the Paper Piercing Template to help me line up all of the holes for the Silver Brads. I pierced a hole in every third hole in the template. I was pleased to see that it gave me exactly seven brads just like Julee has in the sketch.
I finished the front of my card with lots of sewing and some of our gorgeous Whisper White Organza Ribbon.
Like always, I kept the inside of my card very simple. The white lines on the DSP is another piece of Whisper White Organza ribbon. I only wish I could have tied a bow in the ribbon, but then the card wouldn't close right.
Head on over to the Diva Coffee Break Designs blog and see what the other design team members made. Please feel free to join us this week and play along with the challenge too. If you play along, please leave a comment on our new blog so we can check out your creation. When uploading your card to SplitCoast, please use the keyword DCBD116 (no spaces).
