I think the Limited Supplies challenges on Friday and the Inspiration challenges on Saturday stretch my creativity the most. They always push me out of my comfort zone.
I didn’t get to finish this card on Saturday. Rick, Rebecca and I first went to the beach. The water was so clear and the perfect temperature. Gorgeous! Too bad there were some pesty fly that bit you as soon as you layed down. Then we went to eat at the Outback. We came back just in time to be home for the boys. They were at a birthday party all afternoon.
In the evening Rick and I watched the Painted Veil. I had never heard about this movie before. I liked it. Edward Norton sure knows how to act!
So Sunday in the afternoon, after all the SCS emails were answered and the newsletter prepped, I got to finish my card.
The inspiration piece this time was some funky dinnerware. You can find the challenge here.
This card has a lot of layers and cutting, but not a lot of stamping.
I started with writing down the color combo and shapes I wanted to incoorporate into this card:
Color combo: Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive and Whisper White
Shapes: Circles, Paisley/tear drop shape and wavy lines
I started out with a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of black cardstock, folded in half for my card base.
I cut the open ends with my scissors into a wavy edge.
Next I cut a 4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock, lined it up with the wavy line and cut it’s edge to match the waves of the black card. I did the same with a 3 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Old Olive.
I then cut both layers down to make perfect layers and ticket corner punched the two straight corners.
I used my coluzzle to cut those bigger circles and free hand cut the paisley shape. The big circle and the Paisley shape are overlayed with a piece of acetate and stamped on with Black Stazon and Fundamental Phrases.
The smaller circles are punched with 1/2″ and 1/4″ circle punches. I added Black, Old Olive and Tempting Turquoise brads and some paper piercing to finish of the card.

Now, onto the movie……I LOVED the Painted Veil! It was so good, and a very realistic movie about relationship. Not that I’ve been taken into Malaria ravaged China before for cheating on my husband, but you know.
