Mona Pendleton started this color challenge few weeks ago, I wanted to play along with all those beautiful color palette she had chosen but just couldn't squeeze in as much time as I wish to craft, I am not going to miss this one! Look! it's my favorite shades again!
And the beautiful inspiration photo is from A Creative Mint, my all time favorite blog, Leslie from A Creative Mint just has the prettiest images, you need to hop over and see it for yourself if you haven't yet.
Here's my take on CR84FN4
I tried to create a "crack" effect but I failed to do so, the Utee I used on the sheet music makes the paper torn instead of crack, LOL!
But I still use it since it has that "vintage" look I want
If anyone out there could share some tips on how to use the Utee embossing, or how to get that crack effect, I would love to improve on this. First of all, it is so hard to make the Utee stick to my paper, it flew all over the place when I use the heating tool.
Seeing these shades just make me happy.....

Hi Kirsty ... lovely card .. I love the music paper ... here's a link that may help you though ... seems it is better to heat from underneath to stop the powder blowing away ... http://www.scrapjazz.com/topics/Techniques/Embossing/967.php

Hi Kirsty, I adore purple these days. Gorgeous works, again!
Have another creative day. xxxx
I knew this palette was right up your alley. LOL Beautiful card. Your UTEE might not have done what you wanted, but you're right, it does add to the vintage look. I've tried this technique and it's hard to get the cracks to go the way you want them to. You definitely need several layers and I put mine in the freezer for a while before I cracked it. Hugs!
I love it whenever you use this color scheme – you have such a way with it. Beautiful, Kirsty!
beautiful card kirsty....xx
WOW, what a yummy vintage card!!!
WOWZER.. This is so beautiful.. This is just your style.. I love it..
Well maybe it didn't work out with the music sheet paper as planned but it sure is gorgeous. I knew you would love these colors and Kirsty; your card is stunning. Perfect in every detail and my favorite; the flowers....:)
