Crazy About Color Couture

On the first of the month, the Papertrey Ink Senior Design Team and Nichole Heady participated in a group post that focused on the Color Couture product line. This inspired me to pull out my Color Couture stash and play along. For today's card I used the color scheme and one of the circle sentiments from Volume 4...Started the card out by using the inspiration colors to create a gradient colored woodgrain strip. Used Background Basics: Woodgrain stamped in Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist, Spring Moss, Ripe Avocado & Ocean Tides. Then attached the strip to a True Black card base cut to 5" X 3 1/2".
Punched the sentiment out using my 1 3/4" circle punch and attached it over a few true Black buttons.

Tune in tomorrow and I will share a bright, fun and girly version of this simple masculine creation.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekends! Have a good one!
