Another fun mix of colors to play with this week. The design team also had a second challenge this week to use a technique called Clipped Corners provided by our sponsor this week Technique Junkies.
I started with this card and had about 4 different backgrounds before I decided on this background. The flowers felt like they went with my temples and Buddha.
After I finished my first card I realized that the technique called for only one corner to be clipped. So I created another card with this beautiful angel from Stampington.
I am not going to include all the stamp credits and paper credits, but if you have questions about any of them, drop me a line and I will look them up for you. :)
Onto our wonderful sponsor this week: Technique Junkies. I am always seeing the techniques from TJ on blogs and love the different techniques that are used.
Technique Junkies is offering a wonderful prize for the winner of the challenge. A three-year online-only subscription. The winner will have access to the online 2009, 2010, and 2011 issues. (Valued at 29.95)
Pat Huntoon is the owner of Technique Junkies and our guest designer this week, go see what she created using the technique and colors. Her blog is Pat Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by and look forward to seeing your entries in the challenge!

Wonderful take on the Clipped Corners! The Asian Themed card has lots of dimension. The Angel one is beautiful, love the glitz and added crochet trim. The misfit BG will make for a great card!

ReplyDeleteWow! I'm not sure I would have been able to handle these colors together, but you tied them all in perfectly, love the Asian flair you gave to the card!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing creations Suzz.. such a difficult colour combo but you make it sing.

Lovely cards Sue! I really like the way they are both so different.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, Sue! I love your design and how you used this (difficult!) colour combination!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous, Sue! I actually cut two corners as well, my brain just said to do it! I love how the first card almost looks like a shadow box and has that great Asian feel to it. And the second card's image is just lovely. You are a master!
