...colour challenged? Raspberry Suite week 2


ED- would love to give a supplier for the buttons but they've been in my button jar forever!! Lol - random cut-offs from a worn out baby cardigan no doubt.

Been itching to do one of Dawn's colour challenges - bummed that I missed out on the first one!!

Had a spare hour this morning - and yes it does take me an hour to make a simple card like this - time is not my buddy, I am sooooo sloooowwwwwwww... Anyhow love it when I find things that unexpectedly match!! like buttons!! Didn't have the exact colours mentioned, so I used PTI's chocolate, Ocean tides, Spring moss and white ink. Stamps are from Dawns Damask of course!! Lol. (PTI)

Hope it tickles!

PS. I really, really want an edge distresser, anyone reccommend a goodie?? ta.

    Edge distressing? Your fingernail, a cheap emery board, sandpaper! You don't need a tool!

    Nice card... but I don't think I have seen a "not" nice card from you. I'm glad to know that it takes you an hour to make a "simple" card-- I always wonder why I stamp for 3hrs hours and have 2-3 cards at the end of that time. Sometimes it's very frustrating!

    Love this! I especially love the little surprise of having the different coloured button facing the different way. It stands out nicely :)

    Fabulous girl! The buttons are perfect and of course you so good good at your backgrounds...love it...all of it!

    Edger: I sometimes use an old steak knife...I wrap the knife with some duct tape so the knife is safe from slips...works like a charm! well at least for me anyway.

    I'm so glad to hear that you labour along like the rest of us with your designs. It was so totally worth it. Love the way you did you buttons with the one next to the sentiment angled a different way. :) It's a lovely card!

    I love your take on this color challenge! I personally like the distressor from CTMH. It is a larger diameter than stampin up's and is easier to hang onto. I have both, and bought the ctmh one to replace the su! one because it was a pain to hold onto.

    OMGosh Claire this is amazing!! Now THAT is how to put a color challenge card together.

    The flower you asked me about on my card is by Prima. From some old supplies I never used up. See you at Dawn's next color challenge!!
