Hello Blogger Friend! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. It is a beautiful fall day here in Pittsburgh - sunny and pleasantly warm.
We started our day off at church then went out to a nice brunch afterwards. Someone gave us a gift card to the Bonefish Grille. It's a chain but we like their food and they have a nice order from the menu brunch. Both my hubby and I ordered their California omelet. It was delicious.
Normally we don't order an appetizer but we also had a coupon for a free bang-bang shrimp appetizer. It was really good with just enough kick to it. My hubby got it as part of a golf outing this summer. We had a nice time together and now we are home enjoying the day.
I mentioned on yesterday's post that we were going to my grandson's football game. That was a great family day and even more exciting because his team won.
Now onto my card for today. This one I created for the color challenge #651 on Splitcoaststampers. Karen was our hostess and she chose pool party, peek-a-boo peach and black. Optional was to use any green.
Black, peek-a-boo peach, pool party |
For my card, I decided to try the black magic technique. This was my first try at using a technique that’s been around for awhile. Here is a link to the Splitcoaststampers tutorial.
I used the chrysanthemum flower stamp. It is a stamp and die combo from CottageCutz. I stamped in white craft ink on basic black cardstock. Once that dried, I used Prismacolor pencils in the coordinating challenge colors to color the image.
My birthday phrase is a die from PaperTrey Ink and I cut in pool party cardstock. To complete my card, I added some pool party seam binding and a bow, scattered some peek-a-boo peach enamel dots. To accent my image, I used a Stampin’-Up chalk marker. This accenting is part of the black magic technique.
