Anything but that.....

Over at 365 cards, the challenge is to use a color that we don't like using. I generally shy away from the gray/yellow/white combination. I made this card last night and it was torturous. The yellow is embossed on vellum with another version of the image under the raised up die cut so it looks a little like a hollogram. The word 'friend' is stamped in gray. Everything on this card is Close to My Heart. I actually really, really like how this card turned out.

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge: #18 Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Here is my card for this week's Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. The movie is Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Part of the challenge was to use red in our design. The stamps, paper, ribbon and brads are all from Close to My Heart. This is a very simple friendship card with some paper piercing, flower cut-outs and hand stamping. I didn't do anything too crazy as far as techniques go, I just really wanted to use a bit of this paper, it is soooo pretty!
