Well this Pals Paper Arts color challenge was a challenge for me!
I like Cajun Craze however I am not crazy about it with Night of Navy. Cajun Craze screams Fall to me so I want to match it up with other fall colors like yellows, greens, browns.
The colors really said - masculine card to me so that is what I did...
The Hardward Background stamp in Cajun Craze gives it a "redwood" look. Then using my square framelits I cut out a squares in Night of Navy and Very Vanilla card stock.
The Wetlands stamp set provided the focal point. The linen thread wrapped up it up nicely.
I wanted to add a sentiment however the card was still lacking something. The Burlap Ribbon was the perfect background and then I added the sentiment from Sweet Essentials punched out with the Modern Label Punch.
As I added each layer the card grew on me. I would love to hear what you think! And don't forget to challenge yourself and play along with the Pals this week.
