Buckeye Inklings Colors

CCMC380

These colors are perfect for my site, aren’t they?  I bet you are expecting a Buckeye-themed card.  I actually made one, but I used non-Stampin’ Up! thinlits.  It is not my challenge card, but I will show it at the end of the post.  Here is my card for this week’s challenge:

This is one of those cards that uses a random sampling of products.  I used “Lots of Joy” for the plaid tree, and it is heat-embossed in black.  The background stamp is from “Holly Jolly Greetings”.

The thinlit word is cut from red foil with one of the Seasonal Frame Thinlits Dies, and the tree shapes in the black glimmer paper are made with a thinlit from the Square Pillow Box set.

The Washi Tape is Everyday Chic, and I added metallic sequins.  You all know what your work area looks like when you put this many random things together, right?  You actually get out and try twice as many things as you actually use, so there is not one square inch of work surface showing by the time you are done.

While I had all that stuff out, I made a card for my favorite Buckeye…
