CCMC 239

Good morning, Friends! It's Thursday and the Create with Connie and Mary team has a great challenge for you all to try!! This week we are being challenged with a sketch. Take a look!


A very clean and simple sketch that is just right up my alley!! I was so super excited for this one that I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do! So many ideas and they were all getting muddled together. So I sat down and used the color challenge (Tangerine Tango, Whisper White and Lucky Limeade) at Splitcoast to help me focus. And here is what I came up with!


I kept my card pretty clean and simple - just like the sketch. I adhered a strip of the Sycamore Street designer paper to a card base of Whisper White. Then I embossed a panel of Whisper White with the Honeycomb embossing folder and popped it up onto the card base. A strip of Tangerine Tango is adhered to this. Then I stamped the leaf from Just Believe in Lucky Limeade onto a Whisper White circle that was cut using the Circles #2 die. This is adhered to a scallop circle of Lucky Limeade that was punched with the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch and then it is popped up onto the card. Then I stamped the greeting in Tangerine Tango onto a strip of Whisper White and flagged the end. This is then adhered to the card. Finally, I took a flower button from the Brights collection and tied some white baker's twine through it and adhered it to the card.

Be sure to visit the Create with Connie and Mary website to see more inspiration from the very talented design team! I hope you will play along with us this week! We always are inspired by your creations!! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
