It's time for a fabulous new challenge at The Friday Mashup - Holly has an absolutely gorgeous colour combination for us, and has asked us to throw in a nature theme as well. Umm... OK!
As if the challenge wasn't awesome enough - wait until you see the inspiration photo. I took tons of inspiration from the photo and used it in my card.
The barnboard background was made by running a piece of Smoky Slate through the woodgrain embossing folder. I then cut vertical strips of approximate 1/2" and then willy-nilly horizontal snips. It's barnboard, there is no way it can be perfect :)
Those of you who have been around here awhile know that I love feathers. I opted for feathers instead of flowers in most of our wedding decor, and the Fine Feathers stamp set was the very first one on my list with the last catalogue.
I made this card while hanging out with a lovely friend of mine, so I snagged one of her embossing folders that I don't own. It's fun playing with other people's stuff - once you get over the "do you have this?" and "where can I find that?", hahaha.
Check out the challenge this week:
- Create a project using the colors "Pool Party, Crisp Cataloupe, Calypso Coral & (Smoky Slate or Soft Suede)".
- Create a project with a "Nature Theme".
- Or Mash it Up and create a "Nature Themed project using the Challenge Colors".
Thanks for stopping by today!

I was thinking about using the feather set (which I have because of YOU!), but the thought of cutting it out - oy! :) Love, love your little bundle of feathers and leaves.
ReplyDeleteThis came out great.. I love the Barn board background you created. Great use of the challenge colors.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Tara! Love the combination of feathers and leaves, and the two embossed panels in the background are just perfect with the lovely Smoky Slate!
