Embellish with Brads....or eyelets if you're me... :)

Yah! Another Embellish Challenge!!!

I really had nooo clue what I was going to make for this challenge. Color challenges for me lately have been pretty difficult. But what I did love is using brads! (or in my case, eyelets -- sorry, I didn't have any primary colored brads, oops!!) But I still love my card.

I think these colors are a lot of fun and almost bring you back to childhood -- very elementary colors, and you can really do a ton with them...hopefully I'll be able to make a few more before the challenge ends!!

Really, this is just your basic weaving -- I took Cosmo Cricket's Snorkel Elements and cut the color strips. Then took solid colored cardstock to match (various -- PTI, SU, etc) and wove them into each other. (The strips are a 1/2 inch). Then, (I hope this doesn't disqualify me!!) I took my eyelets using the Crop-o-dile (love this tool), I very easily punched them into the card. I adhered everything with 3-dimensions from SU! so it would pop a little bit. Then, on top - I finally got to use my long oval scallop punch from SU! and colored the edges with Brillance - Red Rocket (I also stamped in that color) on the sentiment from PTI - Mega Mixed Messages.

By the way -- oh my, the paper in the background is part of the new line from Creative Imaginations (holy cow is it cuuuuuute!!)

Create [Something] Fabulous Today!

Enjoy!
