Julie's Color Concoction #20

Yes, I know.  I was kinda slacking on the JCC, but here I am with another one.

  The colors for JCC20 are :

• chocolate chip
• pumpkin pie
• apricot appeal

I did have a concoction kinda like this one HERE, but that one was a lot softer.  This one is bolder and good for fall or thanksgiving themed cards.

My base is chocolate, and is 5 X 5.  The apricot layer first had the floral BG stamp on it in pumpkin, sponged and then matted.

I loved Laurie's layout, so I used that as my inspiration for the rest of the card.  The chocolate diamond is 3.25 square, with two holes punched on either end for ribbon.  I used the rectangle punch for that and the corner rounder on the 2 that would not be covered.

I cut the pumpkin layer with my square scalloped nestie (from ATS), and the matted it to the chocolate CS.  I stamped the fancy doohickeys (Frames With A Flourish - SU) in pumpkin on the apricot, and sponged the edges.  I stamped the sentiment in chocolate (True Friend - SU), and then added it to the pumpkin CS.  The whole thing was then attached to the base with dimensionals.

I strung the chocolate taffeta ribbon through the holes, using double-sided tape to hold it down.  This also helps to attach it to the whit card base.  I added some of the Cream Brides flowers from Micheals, after drawing on a bit of apricot.  In the center of each, I put an adhesive jewel for some extra blingage.

To play along, make a card with these colors (or a close substitute), and upload it to SCS or your blog.  Here is instructions for uploading to SCS.  Make sure to type in the keyword JCC20, so we can all see them, and then they will be in the same place when I draw for a winner next Saturday.  Have fun and happy stamping!!
