CR84FN 63 Wk 2



Welcome friends, I'm here this morning with a card to share for this week's CR84FN Color Challenge, and it's week 2 for out colours of Denim, Tan and Brown.

I have made a CAS Thank You card, using one of my many neglected embossing folders!
I used the Damask Design folder by Crafts Too, on some Portal blue Core'dinations card stock - I love this colour! I sanded back to reveal the paler blue core, very faded denim!


I cut a strip of some Stampin' Up! Brown stripe grosgrain ribbon (Love!) and stamped a sentiment label using the newly released Label Love - Thank You from Uniko Studios, stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and Faded Jeans Distress Ink.

Finally I added some clear gems for some sparkle.

Here are the rest of the design team, do stop by and visit for some more inspiration!

                  Pauline - that's me!

Don't forget that CR84FN are having a D.T call for the next couple of weeks, so pop by the blog for all the details!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

Hi Pauline, sorry to stop by on your post to answer a question that you posted on Craftwork Cards Blog - but I have enjoyed peeping at your gorgeous blog in doing so!!!! The grey fanciful cards that you liked so much are from the kit (naturally-gorgeous-project-of-the-month) you can search for this product in the search box (top right hand corner - type in fanciful) all the fanciful range pops up but the kit has quite a large amount of chipboard goodies stashed in it!!! - or call Craftwork cards direct X I hope this has helped.
