CHF Challenge CHF06 - Color

Hello!  Welcome to Cornish Heritage Farms' next challenge (CHF06).  The design team will be working together to spotlight a different theme every two weeks and would love it you join us for the fun.

 
The theme today:  Black and White + One Color

Spanish Rose
I love simple elegance.  The choice of black and white just seems to automatically deliver a classy finished product.
Directions:

1. Die cut multiple flowers from Pretty Pink DoubleMate cardstock with the Tattered Floral die.
2. Layer flowers to create rose, gluing with Glossy Accents. Add dots of Glossy Accents to give the rose drops of water or dew.
3. Stamp the Spanish Script backgrounder on Solar White and adhere to a larger matte of Heritage DoubleMate.
4. Complete the card with a bow of black twill. Adhere the created rose to the cardfront.

    CPS Sketch # 275 - No Sponsor

    Hello!  It's time for another CPS Sketch project.

    Country Charm

    I just love the texture of the dotted swiss paper.  It reminds me of an old set of country kitchen curtains I owned.

    Creating with Clearsnap Blog Hop

    Hello!

    I'm really excited to be a part of the CPS Design Team (with weekly sketches by Tami Mayberry).  We're hopping along today to showcase some of our favorite products... and to be honest, they are NUMEROUS!







    We're all loving Tami's stamps.  And our favorite inks are Clearsnap - the official ink sponsor for the CPS and Tamy Mayberry Stamps Design Teams.  It's a match made in heaven!  Are you ready to see my project using a couple of my favorites?


    You Rock!

    I couldn't resist pairing a few bright colors for a wild card.  In fact, when my daughter saw this project, she asked if it was for anyone she knows (hint, hint).  I guess I'll be writing a love note to a special daughter this week.  ;)

    Next on the hop is Keri Lee Sereika - so if you landed here and didn't know about the hop, the full list is below.  I believe if you make it back to Tami's blog with comments along the way, a prize may be in the offing.

    The entire hop list is below:


    Thanks for visiting and hopping with us today!
