I saw Kristina's color challenge this week and just knew I needed to use my paisly background stamp since it reminds me of that super cute dress. I HEART paisley. I decided to use clear embossing powder with the background stamp on the basic gray to add a little texture and shine (you can see the embossing better in the close up). I paired this up with my new Quickutz die and a little Sassafras paper and we were good to go. The colors surprisingly came together so easily. It was a suprise since I usually never use rust or mustard.I also created this card from the current CPS card sketch (CPS102). Two challenges in one; I never do that (I am so pround). I was so excited to post this one that I had to stay up late! Hope you like it.
