Well this has been a crazy morning already!LOL! Right in the middle of making my card I got a call for a job so I rushed to finish my card and get it posted. I got the card posted on SCS and about that time the phone rang and they didnt need me. Great!LOL! All that rushing for nothing!

Sorry I havent posted in the past few days but last week kicked my tail!LOL! This morning isnt much better. How fast did this weekend go by!?!?! I hate the time change b/c we have to leave the house at 7:15 for the kids to get on the bus at 7:20 and its still very dark this time of year. Okay on to the card...

Todays challenge is something Ive never heard of before but I decided to give it a go. Faux cloisonne' is the technique today you stamp an open image onto a glossy magazine page and emboss in gold. I found a surefit slipcover ad and used it. I pulled the colors from the couch for my card. I used so saffron, mellow moss, choc chip, cranberry crisp. I rarely use gold so I tried to used a few gold embellies on my card. I dont know why I rarely use gold I guess Im just a silver kinda girl. I think I own like 2 pieces of gold jewerly and one is a ring of my grandmothers that is about 100 yrs old now.

I love the sentiments in Happy harmony from last years SAB they are some of my faves so I used one today on my card. The fonts match elegant greetings and well worn words so I went w/well worn words on my so saffron and cranberry layers. I know Im jumping all over the place here!LOL! Be back tommorrow w/a better train of thought!LOL!
