I seem to be entering a lot of challenges this week and today it’s TGIF Challenges where it’s a colour challenge.

Here’s the banner which inspired my card:

Definitely fall colours. I used a leaf stamp from Lighthearted Leaves which I seem to be using a lot at the moment – I’m working my way around the set! I stamped it in the three colours onto a very vanilla background. I wasn’t sure which colour to use for the sentiment and so cut out a thanks with the Greetings Thinlits dies in all three colours and tried them all! In the end, I decided to go 3-D and layers the old olive on top of the rich razzleberry – I’m really happy that I have the fine tip glue pen to help me with adhering the thinlits. I then mimicked the shadowing effect of the rich razzleberry by having a very thin mat of rich razzleberry behind the very vanilla and putting this onto an old olive card base.

I had visitors over the weekend and they looked at all my stuff, especially the ribbon and they commented that surely I have more ribbon. I don’t. Because I hardly ever use it, I much prefer the clean and simple style card. But maybe I should use some ribbon soon. I’ll take it as a challenge.

Last, but definitely not least, a welcome to my new blog follower. I’m glad to have you join the fun!

See you tomorrow,
