Paint Chips


This week Pat is having us make a card using paint chips. Boy Allan was glad to find out the chips were for a card, and not me deciding that we were going to paint. I chose Spa Blue, Birds Nest, Sundress and Clay Ridge chips for my graduation card. I used the blues on the front and the greens on the inside. I cut the word Dream out using my Cricut Design Studio, so the letters would be all connected. The flowers came from Michaels in the bridal section. The other accent down the side came from my sewing basket. Then just 3 stick on pearls. On the inside I used the green chips to make a pocket on the left side to hold money or gift card. I finished it off with a graduation sentiment.

How ingenious!! Shelia you are one smart, intelligent lady. I just threw away a dozen of paint chips. One if I knew that you could have used them. I bet Allan did have a cow when you brought them home. *wink*
