I'll admit, I'm scared of a lot of things. Some of which I share (like clowns), some I keep inside. I can proudly cross off my fear of using a number of bold bright color in one small area.
For this card, I created my own patterned paper using pigment inks and large polka dots on white paper based on the colors from the Curtain Call Color Challenge. I went back and softened the white with a yellow rub. I heed and hawed around with what to do with the paper and decided on a birthday tag based off of the sketch at 2S4Y, bright and cheery! Not too much to share today, I've got to get back to being the nurse-it's a lot easier today.
Supplies Used: Georgia Pacific White Cardstock, SU Pixie Pink Cardstock, For the Love of Dots Clear Acrylic Stamp Set from Practicing Creativity Designs, SU Only Orange, Green Galore, Yoyo Yellow and Pixie Pink Pigment Ink, SU Butterfly Die and Chit Chat Rubons in White, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, Fiskars Scallop Border Punch, Making Memories Jumbo Eyelets, Gems from Reminisce, White Satin Ribbon from Offray, Button from Cloud9
Gorgeous colors and you use them so expertly! Great take on the sketch challenge, Karen!
ReplyDeletethis came out amazing!!!Love the colors!!
ReplyDeleteadorable tag, Karen! love those bold dots with the soft butterfly:) thanks for joining us at the Curtain Call!
ReplyDeleteThis tag is so beautiful. I love the bright cheerfulness. Wonderful for a bday or get well. Bright colours probably work better in a small space rather than a large one. A Large one would scream "too much!!!" Great take on the sketch.
