When I heard the Colour Challenge on SCS today I wasn't sure at first I could pull it off. I think I did okay though! I think that the use of all the circles really pulls this card together nicely. What do you think?
The CC was Blue Bayou, Wild Wasabi and Barely Banana. I Cuttlebugged the Wasabi layer with Dots. Then I cut a smaller piece of Bayou Blue and used the corner rounder to make a scalloped edge. The main image is stamped on Confetti White with Stazon and then coloured with an AquaPainter and ink pads. The clouds and heart are popped out for added dimension. I decided to add the jumbo eyelets and thread the Double Stitched Blue Bayou ribbon through.
Last year I was lucky enough to get some of these mailboxes mailed to me from a couple different friends in the States. Man, I sure wish we had Target here in Canada! I bet 50% of my allowed $750 that I bring back from Florida each year, is spent at Target...LOLAs with every year, we won't be here for Valentine's Day. Chloe still likes to give her class Valentine's cards though. The teachers always save hers from her classmates and she gets them when we return. This year I wanted to be prepared early!! I made this simple little mailbox for her to stuff her cards into. Then she can take this to school and leave it with the teacher to hand out at the party.
I ended up using some of the WinterBright SSK that was sitting on my desk. I think the paper looks cute for a sweet day ;)
Have you heard Paper Pretties is on a hunt for Snowflake?
