and putting a sentiment on the inside. I really liked how it turned out. I will have to do this again. The only downside is it is difficult to photograph.
I also created an ATC with the same colors and using a collage stamp. I was pleased with how it turned out.
The other design team members have also created something wonderful projects using these unusual colors.
Our fun guest designer this week is Elise and her lovely creation can be found at her blog Mama Cow Creations.
Our sponsor this week is Memory Box go over to the Cafe to see what the prize is.
We are also saying farewell to Stephanie Kraft. I will miss her and her wonderful designs. She has been great to work with and I hope we get to do so again in the future.
This is going to be a fun challenge with these interesting color choices. Have a lovely Thursday.
