This is a card I made last fall for SCS Color Challenge 135. The required colors are River Rock, Basic Gray, and Basic Black. I really love River Rock, and will miss it. I bought several packages before it retired.
I used an old retired SU set, Art of Life. I love this set. The trim behind the main image is SU's Trimtastic stamped in black of Basic Gray. It almost looks like a fabric trim.
The River Rock background uses a TP technique I learned from Leslie Miller. I like using this to add a little texture to a solid color card stock.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend. We had a beautiful day here in northern Illinois. We did a lot of yardwork after church, and then in the late afternoon we took our 3 sons, Suzy (Daniel's girlfriend), and my sister and brother-in-law out to dinner at Maggiano's. We were celebrating a special occasion. We paid our final mortgage payment in June. Certainly something to celebrate!
Thanks for visiting!

Paula, I love the TP technique from Leslie Miller. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing and congrats on paying off your mortgage early! That is such an accomplishment.

Paula this card is beautiful! I think the colors you chose work perfectly together. The floral stamp is so very pretty. Beautiful work as always my dear!
This color combo is gorgeous! Very eye-pleasing, easy to look at and take in. I adore that retired set too- I need to pull it out and use it more! Lovely card! Thanks for sharing.
Love & friendship, Jules
What a beautiful card, Paula! I love the softness of it. And congrats on your achievement -- that is definitely something to celebrate!
