It's Saturday and you know what that means- it's time again for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Challenge (CCMC-HM2)! This week we have a colour challenge with the great fall combination of Cajun Craze, Old Olive, More Mustard and Early Espresso. This challenge is for our subscribers to participate in and earn a change to win one of two $75 gift certificates or one of two free subscriptions to the next Edition of Create with Connie and Mary.
This week we are focusing on the Day of Gratitude and French Foliage stamp sets from the Holiday Mini Catalog. It's not too late to join this 8 week subscription and you'll have access to all the previous posts and tutorials long after the sesson is over! We are having so much fun and the projects have been amazing!
Here is my Design Team sample for this weeks challenge:
The colours were just perfect for pulling out the Autumn Days Specialty Designer Series paper and of course the matching Day of Gratitude Stamp Set. I decided I wanted to do a little different style of a card so I created a pocket card. I used Cajun Craze for the base and layered a piece of Old Olive that had been embossed with the Square Lattice Folder then added a very small stip of Early Espresso and some Autum Days DSP. I then folded the corner down and attached a More Mustard Textured Leaf (from the Leaves #2 Die).
I cut a strip from Striped Early Espresso Ribbon and attached one of my new favourite accessories; a tiny safety pin from Vintage Trinkets. Then I also used a teeny button brad from the Trinkets. The insert is Very Vanilla and More Mustard and the espresso button was accented with some more of the striped ribbon and an Old Olive circle.
