The challenge for February 13, 2019 over at Frilly & Funky is "Let Me Count The Ways": "... vintage or shabby chic project that includes three of something. This could be three colors, three words, three stamps..."
While I was contemplating what I would use three of, it occurred to me that I had two other challenges in the wings which could contribute to this card:
For "Typography" I chose three different stamps with three fonts of the "Letter C", stamped in three different colors
For "Black, White + One Other Color", I chose black, white and red (three colors!)
For "Let Me Count the Ways", I chose three tags, each a different color!
I stamped the letters "C" on the three tags: Archival Back on a red tag, Versamark and white embossing powder on a black tag, and Versamark and red embossing power on a white tag.. I added some red metallic cord to each tag and a band of black grosgrain ribbon with faux white stitching to the red tag; I doodled a border in red on the white tag and on a white A2 notecard; and I adhered the three tags to the card face, overlapping and at different angles:
