My Cup Runneth Over: Challenges Resume at The Card Concept

Hurray! The FUN challenges over at The Card Concept are resuming now for Fall after our much-needed Summer Break. We all hope that you will come back to The Card Concept to share all your wonderful cards with us in these awesome challenges. As is often the case, this card piles on a whole lot of stuff. This just seems to be something that happens as I create my cards and pile on one element after another.

I started with black cardstock and layered that with several scraps of patterned papers to match the colors in the inspiration photo. Almost all the products I used are October Afternoon items. I added a scalloped border and a piece of Mini Black & White Gingham Ribbon that I also used to tie a bow. I tucked in some Double Head Stamens, a piece of Light Blue Ivory String, and I topped all that with an Ivory Sweetheart Blossom. The barn and sentiment (Farmhouse Sweet Farmhouse) are from Paper Sweeties as is the word JOY that I stamped onto a canvas tag from Maya Road.

October Afternoon items include all patterned papers, journalling card with rooster, small word stickers, blue journalling sticker, and rub-ons. I also added a piece of a Tim Holtz Adage Ticket and a faux vintage milk cap attached with a Tim Holtz Mini Paperclip. Oh yes, I realize that I have packed a whole LOT onto this card. If I've missed anything that you're interested in knowing more about, please just let me know and I will get to you as soon as possible.

Thanks so much for visiting me today. I really do hope that you'll join the FUN new challenge over at The Card Concept as we pick up our challenges again for the Fall. We can't wait to see what you will create after being inspired by this fabulous inspiration photo. To be perfectly honest, I created my card from memory and thought the 4th color was blue rather than green, so my colors are a bit off. Sorry.
