Three Color Challenge

This week's "especially three" challenge here at Made Especially For You is all about using three colors. All you have to do is create a card using three colors (white or black may be used as an accent color) for a chance to win a stamp set of your choice from our sponsor, Verve Stamps! 

I decided to keep it simple for this week's challenge and only use three colors without using white or black as an accent color. The colors I chose to use were red, black, and white, and what better image to go with this color combo than a lady bug?! Or in my case.. a love bug. :)



The adorable little love bug is cut from the Create a Critter cartridge at 2.75" I believe - I can never seem to remember what sizes my images are cut at since I always cut so many, I should really start making note! I used basic red, black, and white cardstock along with a bit of patterned paper from a Recollections paper pad. The ribbon is from my stash and I stamped the 'Love' sentiment in black ink and distressed the border a bit in red, although it's hard to tell in the picture but adds a nice touch when it can be seen properly. Not sure where the brads and the flower came from but they were in my stash as well. :)

If you like Made Especially For You's challenges you may also like the challenges of my new challenge blog, Red Carpet Studio. We're looking for creative and enthusiastic cardmakers and scrapbookers to join our team!



Sorry to keep it short and sweet today, I've had to draft a LOT of posts these past few days and I think my fingers are about to fall off. Have a wonderful week!
