Claudia & Co. Challenge

 
 
Happy Friday!  And welcome to this month's Claudia & Co. challenge.  This month we have a color challenge for you.  Do you like BROWN & CREAM?  Then this challenge will be right up your alley.  And while you're using brown & cream, why not through in another color of your choice while you're at it?

 

 
  

For my card I was inspired again by the beautiful colors from Basic Grey's Jovial collection.  I started with brown card stock for my base, added a layer of cream then added the patterned paper.  There were so many must have, adorable stamps released this month, I almost couldn't decide which one to use.  As you can see my little Party Penguin won out.   Sentiment is from Puddle Jumper Winter Landon's set.

I added some of my favorite Sparkly Fluff, in sugar, for Party's hat.  It looks fantastic IRL.  To save time making my card, I paper pieced the hat and scarf with some of same matching paper.  DD insisted I used one of her ribbon bows for my card, then simply added a snowflake to the center of the button.  Not sure if you remember, but she & I made a few dozen of these awhile back using a fabulous tutorial from my my friend Tori Wild.  You can check out her tutorial ----> HERE <----  I highly, highly recommend trying it.  You won't be sorry.

ETA:  I used Mercy's sketch #99 for my inspiration.  Thanks Mercy!
