On Being Modern
We are supposed to be remodeling and my husband asks what color roof shingles I want. Black. What color siding. White. What color interior kitchen paint. Beige. What color carpet. Tan. Yep, not too exciting. But, if I were to be hip and modern, my color scheme would be bold splashes of yellow on a gray and white backdrop.
The Curtain Call Color Challenge appealed to the inner depths of my soul by featuring yellow, white and grays. I created a clean and simple (and I hope hip and modern) card through bold color points and quiet background patterns. (I paper pieced the flower.)
Supplies Used: Georgia Pacific White Cardstock, CTMH Grey Flannel Cardstock, SU DSP, SU Summer Sun Cardstock and Pigment Ink, Colorbox Charcoal Gray Ink, Woodgrain Silhouettes Wplus9 Clear Acrylic Stamp Set, SU Circle Punch, Rhinestones by Reminisce
