Hi friends! Happy Weekend! Whew....this girl stayed out until 2:00 in the morning last night! Party like a rock star, yes I did! I worked all day and then we decided to go to the FUN. concert in Berkeley. Got off work at 4:30, came home and changed, drove 90 miles, stopped for a Barney's Burger, and then walked another mile to make it to the show by 8:30! We saw some of my friends there! It was well worth the effort and the late night to see this awesome band live! Really a great time. (I posted a couple of my iPhone pics at the end of my post, and my Instagram account has some videos if you want to check 'em out).
The rest of my weekend will be spent in the crafty cave and/or doing chores - How about you? What are you up to? I hope you're out there enjoying the Fall sunshine!
I didn't know what kind of card to make today, but I knew I had the itch to do a challenge of some sort. I cruised on over to Splitcoaststampers and found the CAS Challenge thread. Well, the theme for this week is to make a Clean and Simple card, "Inspired by a current trend" and that's just perfect for me today! I am COMPLETELY BONKERS over feathers right now! ANYTHING with feathers on it, and I have to buy it! That's my trend....and here is my card:
I adore this new paper line from Lawn Fawn called "Into the Woods" and the matching sequins. Perfect Fall color palette. The paper inspired my colors for this card. My card base is kraft cardstock...
Here's the full shot of my card. I used Mister Huey's misters for the first time on a card. Love how it adds just a bit of color splatter. The Chevron embossing folder is from Stampin' Up and the big feathers dies are from MFT. I glued a few sequins to the front for more little pops of color. The sentiment is in my favorite front from WPlus9. Yummy.
Here's a close up of my misting and the different textures of my card...
SUPPLY PHOTO!
Here are the photos from the concert!!! How can you not like a bunch of guys who name their band FUN.? Right? LOVED them - even better live than on the CD. And so cool. It was a beautiful night outside under the stars...
You crazy rock star, you! How fun! And what an adorable card! Love the bright pop of turquoise you used on the feathers, and what a great contrast they are to the kraft and embossing. Love the Mister Huey's too!
