E&L's Colour Challenge: Day 1

A few weeks ago, my friend, Erin Taylor, sent me an email and suggested that we do a challenge for a week together.

I thought this sounded like a lot of fun, so we brainstormed a little and we came up with the idea that we would each create a card using a stamp set that we both own and a colour scheme, which would change daily.

So, for day one, I chose this colour combo and the Trifecta stamp set from Mama Elephant.

Now, I have to admit that I totally struggle with this stamp set.

I started one card and didn't like it at all, so I tossed it.

Then, I decided that rather than stress myself out over this (it was suppose to be a fun challenge, after all!), I looked through my other stamp sets and chose to pair Trifecta with my new PTI City Scene stamp set.

Here's my card:

I stamped the background with a stamp from Trifecta.

I stamped the buildings and sentiment (from Reverse Confetti's Lots to Say)

and trimmed out the three sides with my trimmer. I fussy cut the top. 

I added some baker's twine and the orange button and adhered it to my card with dimensional adhesive.

Then I sewed on the other two buttons.

Hop on over to Erin's blog to check out her take on the challenge.

Thanks for looking!
