Creative Crew Color Focus

My last Creative Crew card for September is this beauty. I can honestly say, I think this is a pretty card! 

The challenge was to use Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper or the colors Smoky Slate/Coastal Cabana/Crushed Curry and make a card for someone you admire. This is for a dear friend who is always looking positively no matter what the circumstances. She inspires me!

I LOVE the stamp set Papaya Collage. It's so elegant and you can do so much with it. The frame is gorgeous cut out and popped up on Stampin' Dimesionals. You can also cut out the middle and frame anything you stamp or place in that space. I chose to frame the frame as well, using Eastern Elegance Designer paper, then a Smoky Slate mat, and THEN the wonderful Ruffle Stretch Trim in Coastal Cabana. Such a luxurious look! The sentiment "friends" is from the stamp set Sweet Essentials. This challenge is numbered: CCREW0913DF

I hope you enjoyed my four Creative Crew projects. I will have four more next month. Thank you for looking and I hope you take a moment to comment, as I love to hear what you think! 

I hope you are inspired to create your own cards, too! If you want to play along, just upload your card in the Splitcoast Creative Crew Gallery for September. Here is the link to see all of the challenges: September 2013 Self Improvement Month
