Hope you all have time to stamp along with us??? Dana has challenged us to another fun OCC Challenge!!! It's all about *Monochromatic* color choices!!!
You know what...sometime I can pull it off just like that and then sometimes I have to think realy, really hard about it.....?!? My card today took me forever...I changed colors, layout etc around at least 10 times !!!
But then I came across the Christmas Cocoa Specialty DP.....which one of the DP sheets matches the Friends 24/7 Set and than I was saved - wahooooo!!!
Please stop by the OCC Blog and check out all the samples. I hope we have inspired you to play along???
************************************************
This card is my submission for the IC199 - The Pajama Squid. I used this fun little hairclip as my inspiration piece!!! I wasn't to crazy about the colors...so I took my color inspiration from this cute little hairclip. What can I say...we love *pink* around here - he,he,he!!!
I continued with the OCC *monochromatic* theme and stayed with the *pink colors*.
The butterfly is from the SU Stamp Set Great Friend. The sentiment is from the A Little Birthday Cheer.
I used the Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry colors.
The layout is from the VLVSep04 Sketch...which I'm super late for and I did it without the twist!!! Plus I changed the size to 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".
At last I added some piercing, the Silver Pearls and the Pretty in Pink Ribbon.
Thank you so much for stopping by today!!! Enjoy wonderful weekend!!!
