#5


The Grab Bag Giveaway Winner from this post is #5, Chari M., as picked in random from the oldest. Why #5 I asked? About twenty reasons and five minutes later, the general consensus was that at age five he did a lot of fun "stuff" like  play and sleep in, you know, the important things in life...


This card came about by using the colors from Color Cue #16 and Funky Flowers from WPlus9. I added some rhinestones to the funky flowers and carried the colors down to some paper strips attached to the base of the card whereas the layer with the flowers and sentiment have been popped up with dimensionals.

    This is such a fabulous design, Karen. I love how my eye is drawn from the flowers to the little strips of color to the sentiment. Nicely done!

    What a creative way to use all of the colors, but keep your design simple at the same time. I love the pattern out of the lines you created. I love that stamp yet still haven't used it. I'd say it's high time to pull it out, eh? Is PCD going to release again soon? I've missed you there.

    Great card, simple and fun! Love the rhinestones in the flowers. And yay for #5! I think that is a great reason to pick number five, and not just because it was me :) I want to go back to playing and sleeping in too, five was a good times. :) Thanks Karen!

    LOVE to see Wplus9 stamps in our gallery, especially when they're used so fabulously as this! Great design idea, and your bits of bling add just the right amount of shine! Thank you so much for playing along with our Color Cue this month!
