an argyle attempt.

Does this count as argyle? Scored lines on a diagonal? Yeah... I don't really think so either.
Oh well, though. I did use the colors from the Papertrey Chicks very first challenge. And they were sort of a stretch for me; hibiscus burst, spring rain, and smokey shadow. I didn't know where in the world I was going to plop that hibiscus burst. A button (or three!) is always a safe bet!
I did get to use my new Fillable Frames #2 stamps. And they. are. GORGEOUS.
I don't have a Cuttlebug or anything so I hand cut the frame out but it was easy peasy. I stamped the sentiment and frame in Versamark and heat embossed them to make it stand out.

My smokey shadow card base looks a little brown due to my camera. Hmm...must fix that for next time!

Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!

  1. I love these colors together! I think your argyle attempt counts anyway..lol it looks so awesome on only half the card. Until I read what you did I was wondering how you got the frame to look so shiney...very cool.

  4. I really like how the scoring in only a portion of the card. Very interesting. It counts in my book. I have just gotten in to heat embossing, so I love how you did the frame.

  12. Absolutely your argyle impression counts. I think it's genius how you only put it on half the card - seems like it'd be tricky to do that but you pulled it off beautifully!
