Color Throwdown - Hope Anchors the Soul

 As I get back into the challenge game, I was inspired by the color combination at Color Throwdown this week and pulled some older stamp sets from my shelf. 

I knew I had pattern paper in this color combination, I added some stamped images and dies to create a liquid shaker. 

I love the look, but I'm nervous about my "liquid" leaking or air getting in the bag.  I suppose time will tell.  

I hope you had the opportunity to get creative today.

CAS-ual Fridays - Sequins and Chevrons

This started our clean and simple, and then I was suddenly grabbling all kinds of things within eye-shot.  It's my crafting A.D.D. which kicks in . . . see a piece of paper, pick it up . . . see an embellishment, pick it up.  But I digress . . . as usual. 

I was inspired by a photo from StampNation World Card Making Day.  Now . . . you'll see this photo and you'll see this card and you'll say . . . "Huh?"  But when I first saw the photo my brain went to one particular stamp in my collection and it was right on my work surface because I was planning to use it for CAS-ual Friday's challenge.

So here is the inspiration photo from StampNation. . . 

The hands in the photo . . . one very plain and one very decorated immediately made me think of the stamp image (which you will see below) because it has two images, one very plain and one covered in Chevron stripes.  That's where my head went.  Not to the colors.  (Although I could lie and say I was inspired by the green and red . . . but I wasn't.)

Sequins . . . I have sequins.  But the only ones I could find were green.

And here is where I landed . . .

I have a chevron border that is recessed between to matching border pieces that are facing each other.  I used Sookwang tape to adhere them and then put glitter in the "chevon valley."  It definitely adds some dimension.  I also embellished every third chevron of the pear with glitter.    

The sentiment inside read, "We make a great pear."
