Belli Challenge #113 - letter C

This week's Belli Challenge is to create a project and use embellishments that begin with the letter "C." Some examples would be chipboard, cats, cash, charms, Crystal Effects... anything that begins with a C.

For my card above, I used several things to fit this challenge:

chipboard
cameo (the two chipboard pieces put together)
Claudine Hellmuth Studio paint
Curio papers from Basic Grey

I started out by painting the chipboard pieces with some Claudine Hellmuth Studio paint. While they were drying, I used Holly's Tattered Background stamp from I Brake for Stamps to do the Worn Wallpaper technique (from Technique Junkies). It's hard to see it on some of the papers, but I did stamp all of them.

The white silhouette piece was a bit too white for my liking, so I lightly sponged on some Antique Linen distress ink. The brown paint on the second chipboard piece wasn't dark enough, so I smeared some Walnut Stain distress ink on the edges and smooshed it around with my finger (which is a lovely shade of dark brown right now LOL). The two pieces put together resemble a gorgeous old-fashioned cameo.

I used the sketch from the Sweet Stop Sketch blog (SSS99) to put this card together. The peach toned flowers were a lucky find in my Prima stash so I added those along with some wrinkled ribbon.

Check out what the Belli Girls have created for this challenge. I bet you have something in your stash that would be perfect for this challenge. Why not pull it out and create something and share it with us? We'd love to see your creations! :-)
