“This week is most definitely a challenge for us all – we know that you are up it.

We can either thank or be frustrated with my husband Bruno Bertucci for coming up with this colour combo depending on how you feel about it.”

So this colour Combo was Bruno’s idea, Kylie………mmmmm!

Interesting combination but once I started working out what I was going to do, it all came together.

With this card I wanted to keep it light and soft with a look of being Antique.

These 3 colours are such strong colours and can easily over power each other but they work so well together.

I have used Crumb Cake Card stock as my White because I didn’t want a stark bright contrast. The Crumb Cake softens and blends the colours.

The Rose image I stamped in Early Espresso and then used the Blender Pen to bring the colour out and give shading Adding a touch more Early Espresso from the stamp pad.

The edges of the Deco Labels Framelit was sponged in the Early Espresso.

On the card I stamped the texture stamp from “You’ve Got This” Stamp Set in the 2 colours overlapping them.

The ribbon used is the Seam Binding in Crumb Cake (discontinued), this was dampened by spraying with water and then

scrunching ribbon and stamping directly on top with the two colours….Tangelo Twist and Bermuda Bay.

Hope you enjoy this card

Keep on Stampin’ Up!

The design challenge set for us this week by the Global Design Project Team is…..

“Thank You”

Every time I think of the words “Thank You” I think of a song I used to sing at Church in the Youth Choir..(Sooooo many years ago)

Thank you for giving me the morning,

thank you for every day that,s new,

thank you for new things in store for me

and for work to do.

Thank you, I see your word has meaning,

thank you, I know your Spirit here,

thank you, because you love all people

those both near and far

Thank you for speaking to us,

thank you for telling us you care,

thank you, O Lord you came among us

bread and wine to share

Thank you, O Lord your is boundless

thank you that I am full of you

thank you you make me feel so glad and

thankful as I do

,

There seems to be many versions of this song, but this is the one I remember so clearly.

My card today I have made using the Botanical Builder Framelits and Wildflower Fields DSP,

The Botanicals I have cut out in Whisper White Card Stock and sponged in Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Hello Honey.

The Tag and Thank you sentiment come from the Rose Wonder Stamp Set and Rose Garden Thinlits Dies.

For me this card is soft, gentle and “Thankful”, just as the song.
