As you know, each week the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge team reveals a new challenge. This week's challenge is a color challenge. (Those are my favorites!) Except this week we're asking you to use a trio of colors.
It sounds tricky, but it isn't. I just picked my three favorite inks and used those as my inspiration to create a Happy Mail Folio.
I created a card, but also a little folder to contain it and bits of new and vintage ephemera.
The card was so simple, and yet so freakin fun that I actually giggled out loud when I made it. I used Alphabet Dies from Avery Elle to cut my sentiment from an original vintage photograph.
Brilliant! Why didn't I think of die cutting a photo? Love your gorgeous folio and your favorite colors are beautiful together!

Simon Says Stamp!
Love your beautiful creation! Michelle. The colors you used are gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteYour little folio assemblage is terrific. Love the commemoratives photo and that the ink matches the stamps. Funny how stamps of this era has those stale, muted tones but that's what I love about them. Just got some red geranium which I think will be outstanding to use with mail art. You've inspired me, as always!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable way to gift a card/little set of goodies! This is just genius. And I'd be giggling too, if I whipped up something this amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous folio, Michele ... such a wonderfully detailed project ... it's lovely! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always good where there's giggling going on in the craft room! Unless you're just giggling to keep from going insane (which has happened to me before...usually around 2:00 am). But I digress! My point is that this card is really cool and I love all the layers. You always combine things so beautifully. I always look forward to seeing your projects!
ReplyDeleteGiggle away Michelle because this is fabulous! So much detail and so pretty with a wonderful combination of colours ~ I love the trio you've used!! Gorgeous project, as always... :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card Michelle!! And I love those ink pads that you used. Great combo.
ReplyDeleteThat little folder is so fun! And a great card too!
