ColorLab17

Thursday again, got your Lab Coat? Another great ColorLab Color Challenge this week! Made me think Fall again! Or, maybe I'm trying to keep Winter at bay and keep Fall around!! Here are the Colors & Inspiration:

How could you not think Fall? Bravo Burgundy, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip & Very Vanilla! Love it!  Here is what I came up with! Oh, I swear, I tried not to use this set, but couldn't help it! Click the picture to enlarge and see the full detail!


Yep, French Foliage again! But, a very different look this time! I did some rock-n-roll on this one! I inked all the leaves with Daffodil Delight & rolled them in Bravo Burgundy. The cool thing is that every leaf comes out different! My Bravo Burgundy tends to look a little brown, not sure if that's because I used it with yellow & browns, or if it just looks that way! It's been a very long time since I've used this color!! Anyway, after stamping the leaves, I added "splatters" of Chocolate Chip, some full strength, some off once. After stamping the background I ran it through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder. It came out a little different than I expected, maybe more muted? Again, click to enlarge to see the detail! For the saying, I stamped the words from Hope Happens in Chocolate Chip on Vanilla and then added a rock-n-rolled leaf. I punched the saying with the Decorative Label punch and added a Bravo Burgundy layered punch behind it. On the side of the label I added a Metallic Brad. I tied a Daffodil Delight Taffeta ribbon around the background, layered it onto Chocolate Chip and attached to the Bravo Burgundy card base. Dimensionals adhere the label to the card base.

Thanks for stopping by! Do make sure you stop over at the Color Lab and play along! We LOVE to see what you come up with!!
