Blogger's Challenge - Color Combo

Oh this week was a challenge right after my own heart. We were to use Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Old Olive and Ruby Red. This was so easy for me - I guess I am an "Earth Elements" kind of girl and didn't even know it :-)

I did a minimum of stamping on my project - you really have to look closely to even see it because it's done in VersaMark on Chocolate Chip.

I am so loving my new Big Shot Machine and the dies that I have! So of course I had to play some more with it... This project came together in MINUTES!

I think it turned out pretty cute - but see for yourself:

The strip of Mustard Cardstock under the flower is from the Big Die! Since I didn't really know what to use those 2 strips for, I figured they could go on the basket/tote like a decorative border?! If you know what they are actually ARE for, please let me know!

Supplies
Stamps: Stitched Exotics
Paper: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Old Olive and Ruby Red
Ink: VersaMark
Accessories: Brads, Dimensionals, Tacky Tape, Liquid Glue
Tools: Big Shot, Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Baskets & Blooms, Sizzix Sizzlits Die - Birds & Blooms


Have a great weekend!

    Oh this is adorable Claudia! What a sweet little basket! The only thing that I could think of for the strips would be flower stems? Either way, you used them wonderfully here! :D

    Thanks for the lovely idea! I'll be using it for my workshop tomorrow. LOL I think the strips look great around the middle. I had wondered what they were for too. I thought maybe flower stems?? I think you are right. Looks great!
