No Blogger's Challenge - but still a card

This week we were supposed to make a Mother's Day Card. Since I really didn't need one, I decided to sit this one out. But please check out the other players creations... it's not too late if you need to make a card!

I did however participate in a challenge where we had to create something that was inspired by the brown rug (from Pottery Barn Teen) pictured below:

The card that I made is somewhat funkier than my usual work, but it came together nicely. It was lots of work... because I started out with the Chocolate Chip CS and embossed all the images in black EP. Then I used BLEACH, to "color" them all in so it would "erase" all the brown color. Then I went back and really colored them in, using my Blender Pen (it's been a while since I've used that tool...) and my Chalks.

Here it is:

Supplies Stamps: Time well Spent, Circle of Friendship, Little Flowers Paper: So Saffron, Cameo Coral, Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White Ink: Versa Mark, Staz-On black, Cameo Coral, Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip Accessories: Ribbons, Rhinestone Brads, Dimensionals Tools: Circle Punches, Chalks, Blender Pen, Aqua Painter

 
I do want to wish a very Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there though... Enjoy your special day! There really should be more than just one day a year to honor you for all you do!
