OUR CREATIVE CORNER with Me as GUEST DESIGNER

Flashing Lights, Bells and Whistles, I was so excited when Our Creative Corner chose me as their Guest Designer this week.  Actually, I was a little frightened, how could I measure up to such great talent out there, but with some encouaging words "Practice, Practice, Practice" I thought what the heck, I'll try. Then I can say I    "DONE MY BEST".... and I was honored to be asked.

It was an easy Challenge... A FALL COLOR CHALLENGE and what a beautiful array of colors to work with
My card was quite fun to put together, I tend to do the Shabby, Tattered look so I distressed  the edges, added distress ink to the tattered and torn crimped cardboard, attatched it to a chocolate card stock with a piece of patterened paper scrap, added a couple of brads at the top and a piece of chocolate ric rac below the flower.  I added the sentiment "Autum Greetings". 
My old olive leaves were die cut from an old wool sweater I felted.  Then I die cut the aqua flower and crimped it with my crimper, added a cajun craze center, some heavy string and an aqua button for the center.


So if you haven't done so already, please stop by the OUR CREATIVE CORNER BLOGSPOT
and enjoy what the Design Team has to inspire you with this week. Each week they give their best
to offer up some great ideas,  creativity and fun weekly Challenges.

I want to Thank Tui and Linda for their encouraging words. It was a fun experience.
Thanks for stopping by, I always love to read your comments, and enjoy a wonderful weekend.

This is wonderful, Sylvia! Super job with the colors and I just love the corrugated paper. Like the torn paper too - always forget to do that and it gives a terrific impact. That's a great sentiment stamp too!

Thanks so much for being our guest designer this week at Our Creative Corner. You really did us proud!

Hugs,
Linda
