MIM Wild Card Challenge!!

Are you ready for this week's Wild Card Challenge?? I'm hoping to see some truly wild cards from this! It's a combination challenge, so here you go:

Make a card using hot pink and acetate!

Now a little background on my inspiration for this one... Hot pink is NOT my color. But in my love of all things Hambly, I purchased a Bohemian overlay in - that's right - hot pink. I have loved it, but never known what on earth to do with it! In a different Hambly order, I received several free screenprints, including a limited edition sheet of "Out on a Limb" in kraft / hot pink. Again, cool, but what would I use it for? So the other day I happened to pull them out and put them on the table next to eachother. *dingdingding* A light went on!

So here are my challenge cards:



Have fun!!

Oh my gosh! You are so efficient and busy and at least give the appearance of being calm and relaxed! I cannot believe how much you get done, even with a busy toddler wondering around. It is intimidating to someone like me who so wants to have time to craft and struggles to find it - uses old lay outs for book club projects, and can't manage to put together two days in a row where I actually sit down and work on projects. Must be all that latin homework I have! Ha! Ha! Thanks for getting the KBD blog updated with book club stuff!

Ha ha! SB you make me laugh! I AM calm and relaxed, but that's only because I don't think about the utter disaster that my craft room is again after all of the creating! There's a bunch I haven't even posted yet, LOL! (Have to pace myself, you know...)

For the 5th week challenge I lifted the idea from Lauren and made a layered acetate hot pink card. It's in my blog Titled Sweetheart Card.
