Jacksonbelle Embellishments Tuesday Challenge

It's another anything-goes challenge! I made this card last week with a particular friend in mind; I'm just really bad about mailing/giving card (yes, I know, that's crazy, since I make them all of the time) but I'm hoping to mail it out in the next few days!

The Card.

I don't know that I've ever used this color combo before. I was a bit nervous about using this yellow and pink together (So Safron and Pretty in Pink), but really, I think it worked out quite well! Of course, I LOVE the Basic Grey paper, Sugared, and I got the colors from that paper, so really, it can't be that bad! I've been seeing some great use of buttons lately, which I am thrilled about as I have a good little stash of them! It seems that embellishment fads come and go, so I guess if you hoard (I mean hold) onto the embellishments long enough they are bound to come back! This is one of those cute little Inkadinkado stamp sets; I think they are so fun! I colored the image with my Prismacolor alcohol markers. I stamped the duck's head twice, cut it out and popped it with some dimensionals to give it some depth. The ribbon is SU pink taffeta; it ties beautifully, although I didn't tie it too well! (Boy, I really wish that bow was a bit straighter!) The Chocolate Chip cardstock looks a bit black in the photo.

I used Sunflower Shimmerz to color the bill and Pink Shimmerz for the flower. (Okay, I do agree - it is a four-leaf clover, but for this card I made it a pink flower!) You can find more information about Shimmerz at Shimmerzpaints.blogspot.com.

Look at the Shimmerz!
