It’s time for a new Color Challenge at Create with Connie & Mary . – that means it’s Thursday.  Plus you can get daily inspiration right now if you join Create with Connie & Mary Spring 2013 Online class.  They are show-casing items from the Stampin’ Up! Spring catalog plus Sale-A-Bration!  Lots of great ideas and its not too late to join.

So here is this weeks color challenge –

All three are from the 2011-2013 In-Color collection – so I thought about having Baker’s Twine in all three colors.  Then I remembered a card I saw on Pinterest that used Baker’s Twine and tiny tags – it wasn’t a Stampin’ Up! card but I knew I could recreate the idea with my Stampin’ Up! products.  So here is my version.

Here are some details on this card –

• card base is Island Indigo with a layer of Calypso Coral and then a layer of Whisper White
• I stamped three little tags from Tiny Tags – one in each color – Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral and Island Indigo and punched them out with the Jewelry tag punch and punched a hole in the top with the 1/16 handheld punch
• On the Lucky Limeade tag I stamped a tiny butterfly from the Itty Bitties stamp set in the Spring catalog
• On the Calypso Coral tag I added a bitty flower punched from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack with a small Rhinestone in the center.
• I added the matching Baker’s Twine to each tag – tying just a piece with a knot to be attached to the back of the card and then using a second piece to tie a bow at the top of the tag.
• I stamped “wishing you a wonderful day” on the white card front in Island Indigo ink – I did use my Stamp-a-ma-jig because I wanted to be sure it was straight
• I placed the tags on the white card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then attached the Baker’s Twine to the back before attaching it to the front of the card.

But there’s a little bit more – I decided I wanted to dress up the inside – I had a piece of scrap paper on my craft table that had a piece punched out of it and it made me think I could add a Whisper White layer to the inside of the card with the Jewelry tag punched out of it.  So here is what it looks like –

I stamped the bitty butterfly and added a small Baker’s Twine bow.  Just a fun little addition to the inside!
