Eating My Words....
Eating my words isn't really something I like to do, in fact, if you know me at all, I HATE it. So I say this with a heavy heart....this color combo doesn't suck.....there I said it. Okay, so I thought it would be horrendous, and in "theory", it was, but all put together...me likey!!! It makes for an AWESOME boy or masculine card..so that works for me. As soon as I saw this color combo, I knew I would be using this image, Look Out World, from Paper Pretties...it just SCREAMS little boy to me!! I started by stamping my image on Gina K white with Memento Tuxedo Black. I colored it in with my SU markers and then layered it with the challenge colors, Pumpkin Pie, Brilliant Blue, and Garden Green. The color panels were all run through my Cuttlebug with different folders: Spots and Dots(I think), Swirls, and Traffic Jam. I then added some large pewter eyelets and popped them up on my Gina K. white base. To finish it, I stamped my sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black and tied a piece of Pumpkin Pie striped ribbon around it. See, I told you, not bad at all!!
