Fab Friday 82 Color Challenge


Hey guys! Happy Friday and all is starting to look up here at that Tucker house!
Taryn seems to be on the mend but still has a nasty cough! The horse is out on pasture today with all of her pony pals... All in all things are looking up!

I was so excited to see the new challenge for Fab Friday this week! I love to use the Subtle colors and this just fed into my addiction! I can't wait to show you what I came up with!

This beauty started with a lovely base of Blushing Bride card stock. I chose to use Crumb Cake as a neutral to matte my Mint Macaron Hard Wood stamped Very Vanilla. I also made the strip across with Crumb Cake and added the Mint Macaron Dotted Lace trim at the bottom. I folded our doily just over the edge and adhered it to my card with my adhesive runner. I knew that I somehow needed to incorporate the Pool Party. Fortunately I still have both the Blushing Bride and Pool Party embossing powders! They sure came in handy on this card. I used the Butterfly Basics stamp set and stamped the butterflies using Versamark ink. Then,(Obviously) I heat embossed butterflies in Blushing Bride and Pool Party on the Very Vanilla card stock.  The Big Shot with magnetic base got to come out and cut out these lovelies! I attached them to my card using Stampin' Dimensionals! Now, what is a card without a sentiment? The Expression Natural Elements Celebrate was the perfect to make this card! I adhered this using our great Fine Tip Glue Pen... My finale? Sequins of course!!! I used Pretty Pink Posh Sparkly Clear and the Blushing Bride ones from the embellishment kit in the Occasions catalog!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a Fabulous week!
