WOW ......Right out of my comfort zone


Yes you wont find anything else like this on my blog.
It has taken me 3 days to make as we are going through a heat wave
and I am hopeless when it gets above 25 degrees.
Then of course the tennis is on and that is such a time waster.
how they are playing in 40 degrees beats me.

I am afraid of strong colours so it was with a lot of trepidation
that I started with this card.


Funnily I am now quite happy with how it looks.
The colours came from 52 CCCT who wanted us to use 3.


I have added touches of more colour which I think has added a balance.
What do you think?
The stamp is brand new and I have been waiting a long time for it.
Of course it arrived too late for 2013 but just in time for a new beginning in 2014.


I reverted to one of my EK punches for the border.
It is a lace one that I cut through the middle and just popped the scallop
border out from the edge of the card.
I added the ribbon and then realized I had hidden it behind my image so
added a bow for good measure.
There is lots of glitter and liquid pearls for snow.

  6. You should use bold colors more often Margaret as this turned out wonderfully and you got a great balance! I love the bright yellow against the purple. Yes, I agree, that stamp is just too cute. Worth waiting for I'd say :o) Hugs D
