Out of my comfort zone

Hello! How are you all? I'm fine. It was my first "real" day back at work after summer holidays and it wasn't too bad. Surprisingly I didn't even have problems getting up in the morning. Who would have thought?! O.o

Today I want to show you the card I made over the weekend. I chose colours that I wouldn't normally choose. I mean, I used black! And bright green. Definitely not the colours you would see on my cards often. I combined these colours with pastel yellow. And I was surprised that I actually liked this colour combination. I didn't use any DP not any cute images on my card. Strange, huh? I did use my favourite quote stamp though. Are you curious how this card turned out? Ok then, let me show it to you. Tadaaam!



As I said, I didn't use any dp. For my background I just used a pastel yellow paper, over which I stamped with Stampabilities' Faded text background stamp. And the yellow paper on the left is embossed with Cuttlebug Fleur de lis embossing folder. I also used my border punch and some ribbon from my stash. And the stamp is from Cloud 9 design.

I hope you like my today's card and that it'll inspire you to do/try something you don't usually do on your craft projects.

I would like to enter my card to the following challenges:
Simon says stamp: Anything goes
My heart pieces: Layers, layers and layers
Unique crafters: Anything goes
Simon says stamp and show: Read all about it
Natalie and Amy's challenge: Anything goes (2nd entry)
Stamp and create: Anything goes

Oh, and before I leave, I have to do one more thing ... I have to announce the winner of my candy. Well, I left Mr. Random do his thing and he chose number 29. 


Sassy, that's you. Congrats! :D Please send me an email before Saturday to claim your prize. If I don't hear from you by then, the candy will go to someone else. To all of you who didn't win now, don't be sad, there will be other chances for you to win some goodies on my blog. ;)

There were originally 31 entries for the blog candy, but one person didn't follow the rules so that link was removed.

So much from me today. I wish you all a wonderful week!

Hugs! xx

    Beautiful card in those bright colors paired with black. I like that the sentiment is the focal image and the text bg is super.

    Congrats to Sassy on winning the blog candy.
