Happy Friday everyone! I'm joining in with Unity's Friends With Flair hop today and also playing along with the ombre challenge at the Moxie Fab World. I've used paint samples on cards before and thought they'd be perfect for the ombre challenge. This tall Unity image fit beautifully across four colors and I love it embossed in white. I thought the names of the colours were rather ironic (as this lady chasing her dreams doesn't seem to be in the least bit blushing or dainty) and decided to leave them showing.
I haven't shared any pooch pictures lately so I thought I'd share a new one of my co-worker's puppy Kenzie (last seen here). Here she is in her crate at work passed out mid-play! Ah the life of a pup! :) Be back tomorrow with more paint sample cards!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Basic Grey) Stampin' Up
Cardstock: (Basic Grey) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Love Life set) Unity
Ink: (VersaMark) Tsukineko
Gems: Teresa Collins
Paint Sample: True Value
The sentiment on the paint chip is absolutely AMAZING! Seriously in love!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for an ombre challenge with the paint chip! You were a genius stamping over it with that awesome image.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute lil pup! So adorable!
First, LOL about the picture. I guess he was playing hard. :) Second, the embossing on the paint chip? BRILLIANT! It is such a clever idea and that particular stamp is fab, too. :)

ReplyDeleteI was hoping you'd be on FWF this week! I've been wondering about you and your pooches! And here you are with an adorable pooch pic bessides! Your embossed image across paint chips is a brilliant idea. I love the colors you chose and the names on the chips. So cool!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea, Jen! Fabulous use of paint chips ~ I must have hundreds of them, but never thought of this :o) TFS
ReplyDeleteUmmm, wow, this is fantastic!! LOVE the white embossing, love the large image across the chips, and the titles of the colors are the icing on top. Great design!
ReplyDeleteAnd, sadly, I have to say that the picture of your co-worker's pup reminds me of myself, falling asleep in mid-type on the laptop!
Love how you used the paint sample! I would have never thought of embossing on it!
ReplyDeleteLove the contrast of this white embossing on the paint chip! Wow!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! This card made me gasp it is so ROCKIN COOL, and that is Rockin at 163size Font!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I looked at this before I sent it, I mispelled gasp as gass, that would have been a very funny reaction (!), (apologies if this is juvenile, I do have 2 - 10 year old boys goofing off with me today)
And thanks for your (always wonderful) comments on my blog! I did add to Moxie..Never have before, but hey. Couldn't hurt!]Have a great week!
Oh there's nothing like a puppy! Mine is now 14 yrs old, but I still remember those days. Your cards are fabulous!

ReplyDeleteI know what I'm picking up next time I got to Home Depot!!!!!
OK, this is just too awesome! The names of the colours just kick it up that extra little notch :)
ReplyDelete(BTW, Rob often refers to me as dainty & lady-like....bwahaha)
Congrats on winning with this card at Unity..... Love the idea of embossing on a whole paint strip, I've only ever used one to punch shapes from. Perfect choice of colour base card too :0)
