It's Thursday Dream Schemes!

This week we have a colorway challenge, to use brown cream and blue for our card. I think these colors work well for men's cards and since Father's day is just around the corner....well here is what I came up with. I again used the stripe background stencil (LX7002) to make a plaid using Adirondacks Denim colorwash (this is becoming one of my favorite stencils)
While the background was drying I mixed some of the Cocoa Metallilc F/X into regular embossing paste the I pasted the running horses (LL559) onto cream card stock. When that was dry I distress the edges with Ranger distress inks, tea dye. I layered the horses onto to craft card stock and then onto to the Denim plaid background and then layered it all onto a craft card. I'm really sorry it didn't photograph as well as I would have liked it to. Don't forget to stop by the other dream team members blogs and leave a little love there. I look forward to next Thursday when we post again. Hope everyone has a crafty week and don't forget to check out the Dream it UP blog and go to the website to see where you can order these fantastic stencils, Metallic F/X, and embossing pastes.
