Color Dare #115

Outdoor Denim, Sunset, Olive

The color challenge this week at Color My Heart brings you this card.

My favorite thing to do with Outdoor Denim CS is to sand it to 

make it look like denim. For this card I added a kraft CS border, 

a white daisy flower with a sunset corduroy brad and some 

Olive CS leaves. Pattern is Make it From Your Heart II #23.

So grab your Outdoor Denim, Sunset, and Olive and treat us

with your special creation at Color My Heart.

 Pop Up Card

 Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge has 50 Pop Up Card bases with 50 inner linings.

The pop up part is inside the card using the inner lining. So after you've

assembled the inside oh...what to put on the front. This card is my take on 

the reindeer card on page 141 in the Idea Book.

The Idea Book shows the reindeer in red but I wanted to do a scene card

with the reindeer inside. So for the front I made some rolling hills with snow,

added the church and trees from the "Christmas Village" stamp set.

Inside on the back liner I added some more snow hills with a house and trees.

On the front tab that holds the reindeer I attached some more snow hills, the 

Sweet Shop and the reindeer. I had to size the reindeer down to fit the

size of the house and shop.
