CR84FN33 -- You're My Little Firecracker


Hello! It's time for another CR84FN Challenge! Thank you to all who joined us last time.. it was fun viewing all of your fabulous creations! For the next challenge (CR84FN33), our color palette is Red, Pink and Neutral. For this challenge and for the remainder of the summer, each challenge will last for 2 weeks. The lovely photos in the graphic above are courtesy of Martha Stewart.


When I sat down to make this card for my DD, Sabrina, I almost reached for the red, white and blue colors in celebration of the 4th of July here in the States.. instead I decided to use the CR84FN colors since Sabrina loves everything pink! I used the MFT cutie, My Little Firecracker. I colored her and pieced her dress to match the tiny red heart background paper.

For sketch inspiration, I used this week's WSC Getting Sketchy #26 from My Favorite Things. All the challenge details can be found HERE:


For all the CR84FN challenge details, please be sure to visit the CR84FN blog HERE. I hope you will join us this week.. I can't wait to see what you create! For more inspiration, please visit my fellow design teammates:

    Girl, I need to sit next to you when you stitch around those SB. I am too chicken to try it on my own. I love this sweet image, the vellum and heart border punch are perfect on your card. :)

    Awesome card. I love how the velum tones down the color and looks like an additional layer.
