This week’s Bloggers Challenge was a color combination, which is always interesting since they’re never combinations I would choose. We were to use Purely Pomegranate (one of this year’s In Colors), Brilliant Blue, and Old Olive. I pulled out my patterned paper, cause that always makes color combos easier for me. I started to panic when my old standby, Basic Grey, wasn’t coming through for me! Come on, those funky color combos always work! NOT!
So, I saw a sorely neglected DCWV mat stack (Glitter Stack) in the corner of my paper pad basket, and thought to myself, "uumm, maybe…". Sure enough-I found a print that was "close enough" and went to work. Patterned paper always inspires me. I stamped Old Olive with Purely Pomegranate Classic ink® using one of the scallop stamps from the So Many Scallop stamp set (one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration
sets!), and punched it out with my scallop punch (sound familiar? yes, I did that yesterday too…). I used the corner rounder punch for the Old Olive card stock and DCWV print, and layered them. I added some Ice Stickles to the Purely Pomegranate circle that I used a Nestibilities circle die to cut, and also to the stamped image. A Purely Pomegranate double-stitched ribbon bow and final assembly, and another Bloggers Challenge conquered!
What a great card. Funny, but I finished my card for next week using a piece of patterned paper from that same DCWV Glitter stack…lol. Your scalloped circle and all the embellishment around it are wonderful!
What a beautiful card! I love all the glitter on the greeting! Great job this week! {SMILES}
Very pretty, Anita…I started off thinking I needed a piece of designer paper, too!
very bright and colorful
Anita, this came together so nicely. Your background paper is just perfect for the challenge. Very, very nice….

Pretty. Lucky you to have found DP that matched the colors (I couldn’t find any in my stash). Love the punched out flower and the glitter.
Your DCWV paper coordinated well with this week’s challenge. Love the glitter. Great job!
Beautiful…love those colors together!
Very pretty – love your color combos. Kim sbs8
Too funny!! I was excited about the color challenge too until I realized I had NO DP to match…then I freaked out! lol! Your card is great, I love that scallops set!
Have a great weekend!
I love the glitter on your medallion!
