Good Friday morning and Happy Wedding Day to Kate and Will! I’m so excited for the both of them and can’t wait until this afternoon.
Today is the third Just For Fun® Friday and Kat chose the colors for this week’s challenge.
We really do want people to play along with us, and hope that you join us and post a link on the Just For Fun® Blog. We’re gearing up for the launch of the new Just For Fun® web site which will be April 15th, and there will be some special things happening that day!
For my card today, I decided to add red as the color of my choice. For some reason it’s difficult for me not to use red with black and cream/white. I even pulled out some of my favorite 7 Gypsies paper to use.
The flower was the first thing I worked on after picking my paper. It was embossed in gold and then water colored with Distress Inks. Once I had settled on a layout, the flower was die/cut embossed using Spellbinders™ Labels Eight, distressed and sponged with Vintage Photo. I felt there needed to be something behind the flower, and used Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven to make another layer. Then, that layer needed a little something something, so I added a sentiment and a vintage button from my stash. I couldn’t resist using the ivory silk ribbon as a finishing touch.
