SU Timeless Talk

I am the hostess this week at the Friday Mashup #165! Thank you all so much for participating in this weekly challenge site- it is so fun seeing and being inspired by each and every one of your contributions to the site. I do hope you will play along again this week…or maybe this can be your first time!

My challenge is:

Create a project using the colors “Black, White/Ivory, and one other color of your choice.”

Create a project using a “Word Bubble.”

or Mash it Up! and create a “Black & White project with a Word Bubble on it.”

I pulled out my envelope punch board to make this gift card holder.

I found a tutorial HERE– I just adapted mine from Jackie Topa’s example.

Card Recipe:
STAMPS: SU Timeless Talk
INK: SU Real Red, Memento Black
PAPER: SU Real Red, SU Basic Black, SU Very Vanilla, SU Modern Medley (retired)
ACCESSORIES: SU Real Red 3/8″ Tafetta ribbon (retired)
TOOLS: SU Word Bubble Framelits, SU Envelope Punch Board

Well, I have a little secret to reveal…I thought I might keep it to myself but thought you might find out and think badly of me…so, I will just come right out and tell you. I finished my card for Dynamic Duos # 92 Bold and Cheery Challenge with Midnight Muse and Rose Red, only to find out…I used Primrose Petals!!!

The really sad part if it is my wonderful upline brought me a piece of Rose Red to our meeting on Sunday because I had mine on order! After stamping my sentiment twice due to smudging, and making up the card, taking multiple photos trying to capture the essence of the colors (the neutral Sahara Sand is so pretty but hard to photograph)…I noticed the piece of Rose Red sitting there patiently waiting to take a part in the card. Needless to say, I am going to pretend I used a color similar because I did not have Rose Red. I must say, during the late night hours that I tend to keep Primrose Petals and Rose Red look pretty close…until you see the Design Team cards with the brighter Rose Red! Anyhow…here ya go…

I also used Narelle’s sketch at Freshly Made Sketches # 125 this week to design my card. I just rotated it one turn to the left:)
