Well, to be exact, Concord Crush! Found a challenge tonight that inspired some creativity! I've been struggling since I got home. Haven't done much of anything all week! The artists though at Pals Paper Arts have a monochromatic color challenge this week, specifically purple! LOVE purple!!! So I had to give it a shot! Not the best card ever, but a step back onto the creative path.
Card base is Concord Crush. The background is DSP, in Concord Crush, that I ran through the Big Shot in the Elegant Lines embossing folder and then sanded with a sanding block to reveal the white core. A Concord Stitched-Poly ribbon is tied around the bottom, and the saying 'because I care' from the Level 1 Hostess set of the same name. I added a few Clear Rhinestone brads to the embossed image because it needed a little something else, and nothing else seemed right. Enjoy, and hopefully I'll have some better creativity flowing tomorrow!
