My word how time flies from one month to the next! It's challenge time at Bizzy Bec's Creatalicious Challenges once more! This month the challenge is a colour combo, and a rather yummy one at that!! We want to see you use pink/plum, burgandy, & green on your cards & additionally, incorporate some kind of lace, ribbon or twine etc.
I perceived this to mean lots of berry tones, perfect for an Autumn inspired card. I've hardly stopped using the Sugar Nellie Autumn kit since I got it, & this was another excuse to ink it up again! The paisley DP from Bec's own online store provided the ideal backdrop for my card, but it sure took some messing to create a shade with my distress inks to match it! I had long been wanting to have a go at a tri-shutter card & used this opportunity to give it a go. They look complicated, but are actually relatively easy 
to create. I used this tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers to help. The fiddly bit is cutting all the pieces to size. I also embossed the burgandy card stock with my Cuttlebug for additional texture & used chalk inks to highlight it. Does anybody else have as much trouble as me tying ribbon? It takes me ages to get it how I want & I usually have to cheat with a bit of glue!! The finishing touch was the seriously gorgeous flower & leaves, again available at Bec's store. They are Quality!!
