We're so excited to be doing this hop and we have a fabulous lineup with some very talented ladies. There will be lots of fun projects AND some blog candy!!!
This month we will be showcasing a different page from the Artiste cartridge! Did you know there were 700 images on this cartridge?? That's right -- 700!!!
For today's project I use the Father's Day suite found on page 75 of the Artiste handbook. I made my own argyle paper using Accent 1 cuts!
The base of the argyle paper is colonial white.
The next layer up is Slate card stock cut with Accent 1< no shift> .
The final layer for the Argyle paper is Goldrush card stock cut out with Accent 1<shift>
I added some Indian Corn Blue for accent.
Here is a close up so you can see the layers:
Colors used:
Colonial White,
Gold Rush,
Slate
Indian Corn Blue.
All edges are inked with Slate ink.
I used this same technique to make this Girly Card:
Hollyhock
Blush
Olive
White Daisy
