I'm having more fun this afternoon with the Hard Core Crop Challenges at Core'dination (this card wins the prize for leaving my work table in the biggest state of disarray … what a die cutting paper mess I now need to clean-up).
This challenge was from Leanne Pierce to create a holiday project using some Core Folded Origami Leaves (pattern is from Bloomize). I did my leaf folding using scraps of purple Core'dinations cardstock on my table (cut into 2" squares before folding) and then built my card around them. I found that using my Scor-It tool helped with some of the folds with the thicker Core'dinations cardstock.
I die cut some Tattered Blooms from a lighter purple Core'dinations Cardstock and embossed them with snowflakes (since I was going for a rather non-traditional holiday design). I added an SRM Noel Sticker to the center of the bloom and another SRM Fancy Sticker Sentiment – Christmas at the top.
I used this week's Basic Grey Sketch for my layout adding several Basic Grey Kioshi papers to my design, as well as Memory Box Elegant Scrollwork cut from more Core'dinations cardstock. I love the finished combination of colors, patterns and textures.
Hello… those leaves are really awesome…thanks for taking part in my challenge! good luck!
omg! this is BEYOND fabulous… both as a super-clever multiple use of core’dinations AND a glorious take on the BG sketch!!! also a super-stylish take on non-trad xmas card colors, i LOVE the plum, green & kraft combo in a holiday context!!!
(ps: did not know there was a prize for post-cardial workspace disarray! dude! i could soooooo be winnin’ that on a DAILY basis!!!!!!) 🙂
