Thread Bare

Eight colors? How does one put eight colors on one card? My take: Make it Clean and Simple. The layout and thread usage came to me while I was sleeping, does that happen to anyone else? I used the eight color concept from the CARDS blog latest challenge and the ever-inspiring Lucy's latest challenge to keep it clean and simple. I started with five punched white squares then wrapped each with red, orange, yellow, green and blue thread, glued them onto a craft base and added a black sentiment. There are these funny little nuances within the thread (cheap-o stuff I had in a kit in college) that stand out nicely against the white, and the craft paper has specks in it as well that shine because of the simplicity of the card. Another bonus of this card for me? Easy and inexpensive to mail.
