Flowers are amazing little specimens. I marvel at how they slowly emerge from their green, tucked up cocoon and into beautiful array of colors...most often with a touch of surprise at the exact hue or shade their petals end up to be. I would think it is a bit like watching your children grow and develop into fine young adults.
A new challenge is up over at CAS-ual Fridays and I except there will be some amazing entries! Create a clean and simple project featuring complimentary colors. Not only is the new challenge announced, but some new design team members and hints of changes are being introduced! You can find out more details about the challenge, prize and read the rules on the blog. Plus, there is some fabulous inspiration from the current Girl Fridays!
This week CAS-ual Fridays is sponsored by The Craft's Meow, a company now near and dear to my heart. (Please watch for my first TCM stamp set debut on April 18th, so excited!) My card today features the ever so pretty stamp set, Beautiful Spring, with a sentiments from Mother and Father. I used the red/green complementary color combination, although I think it sounds more eloquent if I say I went with pink and chartreuse.
