I think that on this beautiful, glorious Saturday, Pam, over at 365 Cards is attempting to punish me for something!
I rushed over to see what her challenge was this a.m., and EGADS! The theme today is "Paint It"... Now, for most, that's not an issue. However, most of you know that we are in the midst of a minor renovation around here, and that I've had a paintbrush in my hand at least part of every day this week! So, when I saw the word "P-A-I-N-T" I almost ran and hid! Instead, I went to the cabinet to check out what paints I might have on hand. I had exactly two colors - orange and green. YUK! I couldn't think of a thing to do with these colors - so I mixed the two...Ahhhhh...that's some better - now I had a hue of hideous brownish, greenish, color, that sort of resembled some things the kids used to carry around in their diapers...tee hee.
I grabbed one of the reject paint samples from earlier this week and thought, aha! And here is the end result - let me know what you think!
Supplies: Making memories paint, DCWV CS, Paint Sample Strip, TAC Stamps, Brads from my stash, Ribbon from same stash.
Have a great Saturday - off to Lowe's and Sherwin Williams!

Now that's different!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that you did the challenge at all! This card is really interesting - I like it!
Very cool card, wow you rocked this challenge!
ReplyDeleteI love this card!
ReplyDeleteI just saw in Real Simple a different idea to use paint chips for, and thought "I'll use them on a card." You STOLE my idea right out of my head. Beautiful work, even if it was extra painting for you!
ReplyDeletePatti, how funny! When I saw the challenge first thing this morning I thought I could use the trim brush I would be using in the bedroom and kitchen! (thank goodness Jim is doing the rolling) Just got in from 2 1/2 hours of mowing and maybe after dinner I might, stressing might, make a paint card (not a paint 'chip')tonight. I too have lots of paint chips but I just bought some metallic Makeing Memories paint so I will probably try that.
ReplyDeleteps At least the weather is cooperating with painting. How wonderful is that?
You did a great job Patti. I love it!

ReplyDeleteOkay you painting genius - you rock! This has gotta win some sort of prize for the prettiest doo doo green painting I've ever seen :)
ReplyDeleteWay to rock the paint challenge... even if you REALLY did want to :)
ReplyDeleteVery clever Patti! I love green. It's the color of money. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo what exactly are you renovating/ painting? When you're done, will you fly out here and paint my house? It's in dire need. hahaha
Hugs and smiles dear friend,

Great idea to use paint chips! Good luck with your remodeling! We just finished remodeling our deck. Looking back, it was worth all the mess while in progress.
