Yikes!!!

So, I am NOT loving this weeks color challenge, but you know me, gotta make it work right!!! However, with that being said.....I really like my card, or is it the sinus medicine??? Isn't this image so CUTE!! It is one of the new Nativity stamps from Paper Pretties!! I love the cute little images in these 4 sets and how they all work together so well!! To start, I stamped my image on watercolor paper and colored him in using re-inkers, SU markers, and an aqua painter. I cut him and his layers out with my Cuttlebug and Oval Nestabilities. The colors for my card, and the color challenge today, are Pacific Point, Certainly Celery and Basic Gray. I stamped my sentiment on Whisper White and layered it with the same colors. I wanted this card to really showcase this super cute image and GORGEOUS sentiment, so I didn't add a whole lot. I did my normal piercing, added some large pewter brads and spiral clips(Spare Parts), and some Basic Grey taffeta ribbon. Cute, huh!!
By the way, have you heard all the Paper Pretties news??? Paper Pretties has a new blog! It is called- The Paper Clip!
