Getting Edgy with Slate Blue, Barn Red and Grey (CFC#8, PDCC87)

Hello, friends!  Today I made a card with two challenges in mind.  The first is the current CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #8 to make a card with a fun "edge" (e.g., using punches, tearing card stock, etc.).



The second is the current Play Date Cafe Challenge #87 to use the colors slate blue, brick red and grey.


 
I started by using a slate blue card onto which I stamped the Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain using Weathered Wood distress ink.  Next I stamped the Hero Arts Flower Plate cling using grey pigment ink onto white card stock and cut out.  I stamped the sentiment from the Anytime Messages set using cranberry ink.  I mounted it onto brick red card stock onto which I had stamped the Hero Arts Friend Definition using cranberry ink.  The border of the red card stock was made using the Martha Stewart "Daisy" border punch, while I punched the Fiskars "Threading Water" border punch along the bottom of the card.  I finished off the card using some Prima flowers and grey pearl accents.


I hope you are all having a great weekend.  Thanks for stopping by!
Take care,
Judy
