Every month AUTHENTIQUE PAPER has challenges on their blog.
THERE ARE STILL A FEW DAYS TO ENTER THE
AUTHENTIQUE PAPER JULY INSPIRATION COLOR CHALLENGE.
HERE IS THE LINK : http://blog.authentiquepaper.com/2012/07/july-inspiration-color-challenge.html.
THE COLORS WE HAD TO USE WERE KIWI, PINK LEMONADE, RASPBERRY
AND CHOCOLATE.
I TOOK MY INSPIRATION FROM THE QUILT IN THE STORY BOARD AND
CREATED A CARD THAT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD-FASHIONED QUILT.
FRONT OF THE CARD
CLOSE-UP OF SENTIMENTS ON FRONT OF CARD
BACK OF THE CARD
LOOK! ! ! ...WHEN THE CARD IS LAID OUT FLAT
IT IS AN OLD-FASHIONED QUILT
(A PAPER ONE THAT IS!)
MATERIALS FOR THIS PROJECT
MY BASE CARD IS MISC. WHITE PAPER - 10 INCHES X 10 INCHES.
ALL OTHER PAPER WAS FROM AUTHENTIQUE PAPER.
I CUT OUT FOUR STRIPS OF 2.5 X 5 INCHES FOR EACH SIDE OF THE CARD
SO THAT ALL FOUR COLORS ARE BOLDLY REPRESENTED. THEN I ADDED
CONTRASTING MINI BLOCKS TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE STRIPS.
KIWI : DELIGHTFUL COLLECTION
PINK LEMONADE: FREE BIRD - BLUSH AND DELIGHT
RASPBERRY: (FLOWERED PAPER) FREE BIRD - BLUSH AND DELIGHT
CHOCOLATE: FREE BIRD - ENDLESS AND FAIRWEATHER
SENTIMENTS : RUB-ONS STAMPIN UP
CHIPBOARD STICKER: MISC.
LACE: MISC.
FINISHING TOUCHES: I INKED THE EDGES OF THE CARD WITH DISTRESS INK
(TIM HOLTZ) IN BRUSHED CORDUROY
