It's Different . . .



Well, this card is out of my comfort zone, as I usually shy away from Handsome Hunter. I'm not thrilled about pairing my beloved Certainly Celery with it, but perhaps it will grow on me. The "designer paper" used inspired the color combo and is actually a cutting from a photo in The English Garden magazine. Using something on my card that came in the mail met the requirements for a fun, recently launched challenge called Everything But the Kitchen Sink. It appears that these challenges will be monthly and you have until October 9th to participate in this one. Check it out and play along - I would love to see what you use from your mail.

The sketch, which I love and will definitely be using for future cards, was a no-brainer because I used the Fall-to Layout 62 from the Clean & Simple Stamping blog. I heart clean and simple cards! I do not own a tool that will give me just the three large scallops for this sketch, but I think the four smaller scallops work for now.



All other supplies are Stampin' Up!
