Clean and Simple for the Color Dare
Welcome to December, everyone! You all know what *that* means... only 24 more sleeps until Christmas! ACK! Have you started shopping yet? I have {just} started but I wish I was done! LOL I think the majority of my shopping will be *virtual* shopping this year...not really interested in braving the crazy people in the malls!
So instead of Christmas shopping, I have been busy crafting! That's what a girl *should* do, right? :) This week's color combination from Riley at the Color Dare is an interesting one: Concord Crush, Perfect Plum, and Chocolate Chip. At first, I thought, "Cool... two purples and chocolate... easy peasy." Well, not so easy 'cause when I pulled out the Concord, I realized how much of a blue-purple it is.
I found this lovely, CAS sketch over at clean&simple stamping and knew it would be perfect:
Stamps: Plain Jane (Verve) Ink: Chocolate Chip, Perfect Plum Paper: Concord Crush, Whisper White,
Perfect Plum Accessories: Paper piercer, Chocolate Chip satin ribbon, Perfect Polka Dots EF, Vintage Wallpaper EF, Nestabilities, sponge dauber, button, baker's twine
That's it for me today - thanks for stopping by and make sure to check out the rest of the DT's creations...their links are to the left. Enjoy your day - see you tomorrow with a new 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge!

Fabulous use of this week's colours, Melissa. Love the sponging on the sentiment panel and the ribbon treatment too.
This is gorgeous - so much texture. I love that embossing folder and the rippled ribbon is wonderful.
Such a pretty card Melissa, you did a fantastic job with our colors this week, tfs!!!
Stunning! Love the pleated ribbon!
Love your choice of EF! :-) Beautiful card and I love the ribbon treatment.
Wow - just a LOVELY take on the CAS sketch.
Also - love your blog header! So sweet.
TFS, Cheers
