Follow The Recipe #19

One of my favorite challenges kicks off a new one today (alternating Sundays)...it's "Follow The Recipe" at Linda McClain's Catered Crop. Talk about one very talented lady.. sheesh!!

This week, after a nation-wide vote to break a tie, the winning entry selected was created by Dana. Using a bit of wizardry magic, here's the recipe that Dana used to create her lovely card. The items in red are the ingredients I picked from Dana's elements to create my own card with a vintage and masculine twist.

- Colors – jewel tones of pink, violet and blue, gold/yellow and brown

- Stamps and Stickers – gears or clock works, wizards and magic, butterflies, text/script, sentiment
- Color Mediums – stamping/distress ink, markers/Copics (to tint the ribbon), acrylic paint
- Embellishments – ribbon, brads, tags, polymer clay, glitter/Stickles
- Techniques – mixed-media, collage, use and/or layer digital stamps, edge the card with paint
- Theme – just because, Halloween, magic

I added some UTEE to the postmark, some chipboard, twine, lots of pop-dots, and changed my colors to black, tan, kraft and cream papers. That's the beauty of this challenge. You get to use the elements you want and then add your own.
