Hi guys!... Just sharing a new card that I made up for the current Embellish Ric Rac Color Challenge using my new LawnFawn set called "Judy's Blooms".
I'll share a little secret with you all.... Until this particular challenge was posted, I actually didn't even know what "ric rac" was!... Well actually, let me explain... you see, I had indeed seen it several times before. Only I just didn't know that it was called "ric rac". Basically, I didn't know it had a name. I would always just call it by the name of "zig-zag ribbon". Haha!...
So anyways, when this challenge was posted, I fell in love with the color combo, so I knew I wanted to participate. Luckily, I actually happened to have a small strip of rick-rac in my stash. I had to search hard for it, but it was there (underneath a stash of other ribbon scraps). Only one problem... it was black, and I needed brown. So I ended up just tracing the shape onto a piece of brown cardstock in order to use for this card. LOL.... So hopefully it isn't too noticable that my ric-rac is "homemade".
Oh, and another issue that I came across with while making this card is that I didn't have any turquoise or orange pearls. So I ended up just coloring some basic white pearls with some of my Copic markers so that they would match the card.... Problem Solved! :)
So that's it!... My Embellish Challenge card with my homemade ric-rac! :) Hopefully you guys are able to gain some inspiration from this card. I sure had fun making it and i'm glad I was able to use some of my new Lawn Fawn images. I actually made a few other cards with this same set, but I will save those for another post that I will be doing within the next few days!... So I sure hope you come back to check them out!.....
In the mean time.... Here's a little teaser snapshot of some of the other flowers that I colored for my other cards.....
Come back soon to check them out! :)
Oh, one more thing... If you follow me on my Twitter or Facebook account, then you might have already seen my posts about this from yesterday. But I wanted to share with you all my recent interview with DeNami Design. If you're interested, you can check it out HERE.
