4 Chicks Challenge

 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge #78 is a inspiration challenge. I have no idea how they got a picture of my living room, but I was inspired. I used this challenge to try out a new technique I have seen used before. I inked my embossing folder to color the non-embossed sections. I used a piece of silk ribbon to match the shine of the coffee table in the picture. I love, love this chair cut from Cricut cartridge Sentimentals. I cut this chair out when I bought this cartridge back in August and am just using it now. I also used Flower Shoppe for the roses. I love how this turned out so much that I have already made another.

My card:























My inspiration:







I think this would look really nice with out the chair, but I really just needed an excuse to use it.

Have a good rest of the weekend,

Colin

  12. Hey Colin!

    Ummm...that's a picture of my livingroom. Nice try! If you look real close you can see the top of my head in the mirror. lol!

    You really rocked this card! A+++++ Love it! Great job using the embossing technique too. I tried that once and it came out sooo ugly and messy.

    Oh, and btw, there is no holding back on my blog! There is nothing that offends me, although some may say not to encourage my warped sense of humor! lol!

    From your no. 1 fan!
