CIC8 Gotta Wear Shades

Good morning loves!!

ENOUGH with the snow already!!! I don't know about you guys but I am just buried in snow this morning!! Fun, I know, but sheesh..can't we get break???!

Well, if you're snowed in like me, you're in luck because I have got a challenge for you!  Today is our Clearly Inspired Challenge #8, and it is a fun one!!  It's called "Hip to be Square" and all you have to do is make a square card!  Easy huh??  I happen to LOVE square cards, so this was heaven to me! 

If you're new to these challenges, here are the details for you!

• These challenges will occur every other Friday
• You have until the following Thursday to link your project using Mr. Linky on THIS POST on Lori's Blog.
• Challenges will vary each and every time
• Your work is important so there will be 5 Inspirational Cards/Projects chosen to be featured here
• Use CDstamps if you have them... IF NOT PLEASE PLAY ANYWAY... use what you have!
• A PRIZE (your choice of stamp set) will be awarded to a randomly chosen winner
• If you upload to Splitcoast Stampers please use CIC8 as one of your keywords.

Here is the card I made for today's challenge:

How's this for an odd bunch of colors??  I really wanted to got with a very shabby/vintage mix, and this was definitely just that!  I just got this new (delish) Victoria Collection paper from 7Gypsies, and it just fit perfectly for what I wanted to do!  I colored in my funky little lamp from Ageless Antiques using Copic Markers, and I paper-pieced the shade  and added it to my image using dimensionals, so it really pops, and looks adorable if I do say so myself!  Love this fun color combo, and I think it's perfect for a fun square card!!

I hope you have some time to play along!!  I will be stamping my little heart out today, and I hope you do too!!

Happy snow day!!

Hey Alex! That is one of the few sets of CDS that I don't own, but LOVE. Hmmm, after seeing your gorgeous card, my love affair with that set has been rekindled. It's probably going to have to go on the list of 'must haves', haha!
