Happy New Year everyone!!! I pray all of you had a safe and fabulous New Year's Eve and Day!!! I stayed nice and cozy in my apartment, working on some swaps I need to get out!!
Now that Christmas is behind us and the New Year has started, this week we are going to focus on NEW things!!! What did you get for Christmas, either from loved ones or stuff you bought yourself???? Anything that is NEW to you, I want you to use it on your creations this week!!
The week of Christmas I received my Occasions/SAB pre-order. One of the sets I ordered is from the main IB & C, but one I've wanted since the catty came out: Grunge Rock! Not exactly sure why I like this set, but since I seem to be into more vintage/collage/distressed looks lately I think that's why I like it!
Anyway, I finally inked it up yesterday and new it would be the perfect choice for this week's GCA!! And, I used every stamp in the set on this card!!! That doesn't happen very often! I also made this for the FS204 on SCS : WhiteRockMama AKA Marisa! I liked the layout she used on her card and the colors. The colors came from the Curtain Call Color Challenge.
My changes are:
* Stamp set
* Colors - While I kept the Certainly Celery, I did use the original Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette from the challenge
* The layout is basically the same, yet I tweaked my sentiment panel and didn't notch the ends.
* Left off the button and used a clip/ribbon combo
* Used rhinestones instead of dew drops
I also used my Distressing Essentials kit - Tea Stain - around the sentiment tag and the main image panel. The sentiment tag was also distressed with my distressor tool.
Love how this turned out!!! And I know who it will go to!! One of my close girlfriends has a birthday in April and this is perfect for her!! Nothing like being prepared, right??
