This week's Color Me Monday combo (Crystal Blue, Garden Green, Outdoor Denim and Twilight...all CTMH colors) over at Jeanette Lynton's blog is a great one! I love the masculine feel of this mix. I also really liked the sketch this week at Card Patterns. I combined the two and this is what I came up with.
Wondering how I got all of those colors on that star? Well, I did a little paper piecing. I stamped my star in all 4 colors (garden green, outdoor denim, twilight and crystal blue). I used the garden green star as my base and then cut out pieces of each of the others and glued them on. Easy, peasy, lemon squeasy! I really like the look.
I ran a little challenge for my team with Close To My Heart this week (my team is called The Pacemakers because we keep 'The Heart' pumpin'!). I challenged them to use the Color Me Monday color combo on a piece of art they create this week and email me a photo. I will be judging what they send and the winner will receive this card..the one I made with the CMM combo. I can't wait to see what everyone creates! By the way, if you are interested in becoming part of my team, I am more than happy to answer any questions you have. Just email me at pedermom@aol.com.

Beautiful card Karen. I love how easy you make the paper piecing sound. I think I may try it because the outcome is stunning!
Lovin those stars!! Fabulous card!!
That big star is fabulous! Also love the use of ghost stars. Gorgeous, Karen - you always bring such wonderful work to your blog!
I'm not sure that this card qualifies for Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Love the outdoor denim distressing around the card. So much attention to detail!
I gasped when I saw this card! Just beautiful!
YOU ROCK, KAREN!!!!
When I grow up I want to create just like you!!!!!
Great Card!
SMiles,

I love this card Karen! I love paper piecing (much to the dismay of my card workshop attendees, lol) and can you belive I've never inked up that stamp set? Shame on me. I think I'm going to have to play with this one a bit over the weekend. Have a great day!
Awesome card - love the paper piecing!
Great card, Karen! Your color combo is fabulous, and the paper piecing, oh my!!
That is one rockin' card!!! You are definitely the master of the scissors!
SO outta this world AMAZING!!!
OMG - Karen! This is one gorgeous card! Personally, I love it all - the color combo - it is my all time favorite, the paper piecing and the stamp set!! I have to agree with Melissa... not so easy peasy lemon squeezy for those who are vision challenged! :^) Very nice job!! Thank you for sharing!! Hugs....
One of my ALL TIME favorite stamps - and NEVER did I even consider fussy cutting all those layers. I've gotta pull it out and do it now! I mean Right. Now.! :) Just lovely.
