This week's SCS Color Challenge was a bit of a stretch for me. I like the combo (More Mustard, Old Olive and Bordering Blue) but I would normally add a purple or a pink to the mix to suit me so it was hard not to!
This is what I came up with (using my new Think Big set from the Holiday Mini - I am loving this set and it's the first time I've used it!):
I stamped the card base (using the Word by Word SU BG) w/ Bordering Blue Craft Ink for a more subtle look.
The "Big" was also stamped w/ BB craft on BB CS. Then I embossed it w/ Iridescent Ice EP. After I cut it out I didn't like how it looked so I stamped it again on white and cut out the centers and glued them over the blue ones (I *could* have just stamped it on white and cut it out but it looked different than stamping it on the BB CS).
I used the On the Spot BG on the Old Olive piece and the largest SU circle punch on the side. I stamped the birthday stamp from circle of friendship using BB classic ink and quickly embossed it w/ clear EP. I then cut it out and mounted it on a circle of BB that I rolled in BB craft and embossed w/ II EP.
I made the ribbon slider by stamping {DREAM} w/ More Mustard Craft Ink (embossing w/ II EP) on MM CS and using the Horizontal Slot punch on either side of it.
In the end it was a fairly easy card to make just a little bit time consuming as I did so many different things w/ it!! :D
