365 Cards - Tri Colors
365 Cards has a tri-color requirement today, along with a stamp. Black and white don't count !
Well, in my mind that is the perfect reason to totally build on black and white.
My three colors are hot pink and red. Ok, that is only two, but I was afraid, since Pam said shades are colors too, that the pink polka dots might be just plain ol' pink and would count ! Or oh dear does it mean no shades at all ? (sort of like the windows here ??) Worry worry, fret fret, oh no. Did she mean don't put shades on the windows, or do put them on, or just mini-blinds? It is all so confusing..........
My first digi stamp, and notice I didn't color it too much cause I have no skills. I used a black circle paper clip for the "key ring". I actually impressed myself with how clever that key ring looks, that is a first ! (it was dumb luck, not artistic skill, believe me)
I broke down and bought myself a Cri-Cut today, found it "buy now" on Ebay. I am sure I won't have to announce when it arrives, there are bound to be cards covered in all sorts of shapes and letters for weeks to come. If I use it half as much as my Cuttlebug, it will be worth it.
Ever noticed how people think you save money on cards by making them yourself ?

Love the Pink and Black together.Lucky you getting a Cri-Cut.I went to a demo for Cri-Cut last month but only stayed about 5 minutes after I found out the price.Card making in Australia is extremely expensive,everything is more than double the price of things in the US.

Hahahahahah! Lady, you crack me up... I do like your clever card, though. That colour combo is very striking...and that key thing, well that was not dumb luck - it's a stroke of genius! :D
ReplyDeleteCricuts are so much fun to play with! I held out on buying one for years because of how expensive they were, but I'm glad that I got one for Christmas this year (also on Ebay).
ReplyDeleteYeah Jan...welcome to the Cricut side of life!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card...looks like 3 colors to me ;)

Awe man! No purple or green. Guess I'll cut you some slack this time since you made me laugh so hard. I've never tried digi images but I do have a Cricut. I don't use it as much as I should. I don't think we "understand" each other yet. If you buy the right cartridges for it(or actually for YOU) I think you'll really have fun with it. Great card Jan and Kristina's right. I see three colors even with the shades up. :)
ReplyDeletehiya... love your sweet striking coloured card. Welcome to the world of Cricut.. I have made only 1 card out of my cricut.. hahahah.. its a year old.. bad me (my life savings there..sigh).. we should motivate each other to use our cricut and cuttlebug.
ReplyDeleteI loved your post for this card. The key was perfect for your image today! We are a mini-blind family ourselves on all windows:)
