The Thing About Challenges...



Sometimes you feel as though you got it and sometimes you don't. This gift card holder started out with a good idea, no, a great idea (why not think big?!), in my head but for some reason I couldn't really get it to work on paper. But nevertheless, it was fun to create it for the Color Throwdown Challenge. This site is one of the more challenging that I like to participate in as the colors they showcase together are usually out of my comfort zone. So I guess that is why they call it a challenge, right?
Here's the Goods: SU Real Red Gift Card Holder, Various Unknown DSP, Cool Caribbean Cardstock, Snowflake embellishments, Blue Gem, SU Corner Rounder Punch, SU Circle Punch, Creative Memories Circle Punch, SU Chitchat Rubons
