Go long in pretty colors


 

 Hitting two challenges with this card today!  A very pretty color combo from Create with Connie and Mary, along with a unique "long" card challenge from Freshly Made Sketches.


  • Stamping in Concord Crush on the Pool Party creates a very pretty combination!  Using Sahara Sand as the neutral really pulls this together.
  • I took quite a bit of liberty with the sketch (hope the Freshly Made ladies don't mind!)
  • I used the set Just Believe because it was the one set I could find with a tall and skinny image. 
  • For some excitement (lol) I used one of the edgelit dies for the card edge, and then lined the inside with Pool Party so the color peeks through.
  • I stamped one of the images from the set on Sahara Sand and covered it in Crystal effects.
  • The sentiment was punched our with the word window punch and tucked behind the  image.
Been a LONG week at work!  looking forward to the weekend, although they come way too quickly these days!
