The Speedy Fox and Friends challenge team are making cards with red this week. I started out with black card stock and then layered torn strips of Graphic 45 papers. I added the burlap, the chickens and the tree. I colored flowers from a stamp set from Mark's Finest Paper called
"Calendar Selections". I sponged the ticket and added the Fall to complete my card. I think this is one of my favorite cards. I love the warm colors and of course, the sunflowers.
The burlap is repurposed. I had covered some kitchen chairs with a burlap that had coffee sayings & such on it. I had some scraps left and I decided I could use the plain side for cards. Now that I think of it, the lettering on the other side was in black and it would have looked okay if I had used that side, as well.
I hope you will join us this week for our challenge, I want to see your red card. Thanks, for dropping by today.
I wonder why the rest of us thought we had to make the whole card red when this amount is perfect...........Lis
