Color Challenge for a great cause
Emily is so sweet. She posted this weeks color challenge with a link to Shane’s Wish website.
I like the look cutting half circles out of designer paper to add a circle embellishment or accent inside that cutout. It is being used in a lot of scrapbooking magazines. I thought it would be great for a card as well. I checked the gallery for this challenge and a lot of cutesy images were already being used. So I used just the Big Deal Alphabet to stamp hi on my circle. I inked up the letters with Cool Carribean classic ink. I stamped it off once, then outlined the rubber with Taken with teal marker and stamped little cirles from Bundle of Joy on the stamp. I huffed on the stamp and stamped the image on whisper white cardstock.
The circle is punched out with the Mega Marvy circle punch and then layered on a Taken with Teal Gigal scallop circle.
The designer paper are from the Love me and Petals & Paisley Designer Paper packs. My card base is a 5 1/4″ Marigold Morning square card.
The ribbon is, as always May Arts ribbon, from Starlitstudio.

The dots on the letters are the perfect touch!

Geez, I was not sure how I was going to like the combinations today, but it really is nice. I think I will try it when I get home. I like the cut out look too. Makes a bold “here I am” statement.

This is fantastic, I love everything about it. I love the simplicity, I love the colors and I especially love the cut out half-circle, it adds a real symmetry to a card. My son and his friends would think this card is awesome, as do I.

WOW, you got up and going early this AM! This is very cute. I think I’ll work on the color challenge this evening after my meeting that I have to go to.

I love how you did the cut-out half circle to fit the big scalloped circle in. This is such a nice card!

I teach 5th grade and all my students made Shane a card! Many of their parents and siblings also participated! We sent off a total of 66 cards last week to Shane!
