A Monday Color Challenge

Published by Michele Boyer at 6:38 am under Cornish Heritage Farms, My Designs

It’s Monday again…already. That weekend certainly flew by. Today’s challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms is a color challenge to use Prism Tawny Light, Iced Teal and Classic Red. (Challenge link here.)

Asta la Vista

I chose to use another new release from the Kim Hughes Collection, Paradise Found. (It’s available Thursday, June 5th, along with Baby Love.)

I hope Kim doesn’t mind, but I outlined the boat and added the little water line with a black marker.

The red background piece is actually stamped with the same Dots & Circles backgrounder used on the tan piece but it has decided to go incognito for this photo.

Cardstock: Prism Tawny Light, Classic Red, Iced Teal Stamps: CHF “Paradise Found” (Kim Hughes Collection), “Dots & Circles” Backgrounder Ink: Adirondack Pitch Black, Red Pepper, Aqua Accessories: Copic markers, Making Memories brads, sewing machine, pop dots. Card size 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.

Be sure to check out the other CHF designers listed below to see their challenge cards or projects. I always look forward to seeing what everyone else has come up with.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Great card, but there is a mistake is in spelling “asta” - it should be “hasta”

Your little sailboat is beautiful, Michele! I love the way you added the outline and the swirly water line. Gosh, the backgrounder looks like designer paper. Very cool!

Super cute card!
Clair’s right, though - “asta” should be “hasta”…
# Giovanaon 03 Jun 2008 at 8:35 pm

Really pretty card, I noticed that too, “asta” should be “hasta”… as my daughter says, don’t worry mommy, accidents happen, LOL.

Have a great night
