MFT Color Challenge #106
Happy Friday, everyone! Today's card is for the latest MFT Color Challenge. This color palette is pretty fall-like, but since tomorrow is December 1st and there is snow on the ground, a Fall card just didn't seem right. Good 'ole Mother Nature is messing with my head!
Here are the colors:
...and here is my card:
The dots on the background were created using a stencil and embossing paste onto a panel of Neenah Desert Storm card stock. I really like the texture you get with embossing paste. Even though this stencil was made for a snow look, I just was just going for some polka dots....
If you've never participated in a card challenge before, it really is a great way to streamline your creative process. Sometimes, I really feel overwhelmed with the amount of "stuff" that I have in my craft room. (said probably no one ever). Having some parameters of a color palette or card sketch to work within can really help to narrow down choices. Also, it forces me to use color combinations that I normally would not choose to put together or use supplies that I would normally overlook. Give it a shot, you might just get hooked, too!
Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by!
