Grow What You Know

ScentLBrX When I saw Allison's Suggestive Sunday Challenge tonight, it was so cool that I had to stop what I was doing, go directly to my studio (do not pass go, do not collect $200) and make a card. 

Her challenge is to make a card inspired by these wonderful wallets from ESPE.  I will be adding one of these fabulous creations to my Christmas Wish List.

My card was inspired by the Brown Scent Long Wallet.  I loved how the white, pink and green looked with the warm chocolate background. 

AFSS41wm White embossing powder is not my friend … I used my little anti-static bag and try to be so careful … but inevitably I still end up with scattered white powder on my dark background.  Thankfully after the 5th attempt, the effect was minimal.

The Memory Box Presto Flourish and the Inkadinkado Hacienda Flourish in Palette New Canvas ink (love this stuff) and embossed with white embossing powder.  Bright Pink Daisy Crazy Primas were attached to white cardstock with bright green circle centers. 

The sentiment is a sticker from 7Gypsies.  The finished card is 4" x 7 1/2".

Thanks Allison for the fabulous inspiration.

  1. This just rocks…love the wallet but love the card better (I bought seven of these wallets to give for Christmas!). I hear you on the white embossing powder but I don’t see any strays here! I love that you picked the chocolate one…I was too chicken and went with the white one! Argh! I may just have to try again!

  3. Wow, this is fantastic! you rocked this challenge! Just beautiful! I know what you mean about the embossing specks, sometimes I use my itty bitty bg stamp and purposely add more specks for a new look!
