I made this card late tonight and I'm really not sure I like it. It's certainly not like the cards I usually make... I'll see how I feel about it in the morning. I made it for this week's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge (below) and the Pink Elephant wedding card challenge. Yes, a green and black wedding card is a bit unusual!
BTW, I forgot to mention that I won the Pink Elephant challenge last week - I was flabbergasted because it's the first time I'd entered. You can see the card here. Enough horn tooting....
All the supplies for this card came from a Studio Calico kit called Iconic that I purchased last Fall. I love their kits, but because I'm not a big scrapbooker, I don't get through them quick enough. The individual supplies are listed below, but I have to mention these gorgeous clear embellishments from Heidi Swapp called Clear Extras. This set called Runway has some great butterflies and flowers that I'm itching to use. I attached them with black brads, so that no adhesive would show through.
Come back in the morning when the Shimmerz Design Team will be celebrating Shimmerz birthday in style!
Supplies:
- Paper: Leaf c/stock, Vintage Cream (PTI), KM Building & Norm's News (October Afternoon)
- Ink: Old Olive (SU)
- Accessories: Runway Clear Extras (Heidi Swapp), black brads (American Crafts)
- Tools: Ticket Corner punch (SU)
Love the happiness sentiment...it's perfect for this card :)

Well, I sure love it! Isn't it fun to stretch yourself to do something different? I sure enjoy it...occasionally. ;)
