It’s Monday, so time to start this holiday week off with a CHF Creative Chicks' Challenge. This week’s Challenge: to create a ‘Wordy’ Card. Music to the ears of a wind-bag like yours truly…
I used the new Kim Hughes Collection The Birds and the Bees set to create the wordy patterned background, and the featured sentiment is from the Hugs & Kisses set. The sketch is the current Taylored Expressions’ Cupcake Challenge Sketch (#43). I got the idea for the color scheme from the Mondrian-esque ribbon by American Crafts.
Be sure to visit these talented chickies to see what wonderful wordy works they’ve created for your viewing pleasure: ~Dawn~ ~Kim~ ~Joanne~ ~Lesley~ and ~Michele~
Supplies used:
Stamps: The Birds and The Bees, Hugs and Kisses by Cornish Heritage Farms (Kim Hughes Collection)
Paper: Prism Black, Neenah Solar White, Wasau Lunar Blue
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Copic Markers, brads from Pink HedgeHog Paper Crafts, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, American Crafts ribbon, foam boosters

Huh, we gets stickers for voting? The only people who dole out stickers here are the charity collectors out on the street shaking their collecting tins (rather than their groove thing) - hee hee! Great card Carole, love the bright colours with the pop of the black!
