DM's Color Challenge #12

Here's the card I created for Dawn McVey's Color Challenge #12.


As you'll recall, last week I made 15 For the Bride cards. I loved the way they turned out, so I decided to make a similar card for this color challenge. I used the same basic design, but felt like it needed to be kicked up a notch! So, I grabbed my Zig 2-way glue pen and ran it over the embossed swirls in the dress. Then, I sprinkled glitter on the gown, tapping off the excess. Next, I created a handmade distressed flower using red and pink card stock. (Click HERE for Dawn's fabulous tutorial on how to make distressed flower embellishments.) In the middle of the flower, I placed a green button tied with cream thread. The sentiment, For The Bride, was printed in dark red ink using my home printer. And to bring in some additional pink, I added a second scalloped layer to the bottom of the dress.


I'm very pleased with the end result--a fun and elegant card! To see what other crafters have made, click HERE. Many thanks to Dawn for another great challenge!
