JUST FOR FUN CHALLENGE # 12
(Turquoise, Rust & Cream)
"Coffee"
So to start....I picked the colors this week; then panicked because Sherry actually picked them! Now I actually had to think of something to make using these colors!!! To clarify....I really do love these colors, but when I suggested them I was thinking of a Wild West theme. I have paper from Cosmo Cricket that is "Buffalo Bill" "Calamity Jane"----you get the idea. Anyways....none of my JFF stamps worked with that, so I had to come up with something else entirrely!!!
I found this vintage image from (Crafty Secrets) and it cracked me up---I HAD to use it! :)
The card is an Ivory notecard from (TPS). Ivory/cream...looks the same to me! :) I glued burlap to the card next. On my Terracotta paper from (TPC) I stamped my Coffee Background (H2955, JFF). I used Mediterannean paper also from (TPC) as my accent color. My coffee beans border (UMS7014, JFF) was stamped onto twill tape from (SU). As usual all edges were chalked with chestnut roan (CB). Pop-up dots were used to raise the C.S. image; after it was in place I used liquid glass (CTMH) over the top of the image. Finishing touches were some brads & buttons from my stash.
