Okay I have to say...this week is FLYING by! That's good, right?! Bad part is I just can't seem to catch up. I will though...every peak has a valley...just biding my time for the lull. So, that brings me to today's Color Throwdown challenge! Laura selected this pretty palette that is perfect for your Valentine cards!
I waited until the last minute to make my card, so I ended up not showcasing the palette like I should have. Not in love with the final result...and I stepped out of my comfort zone and colored this sweet PI image my friend and CTD sister, Bar sent me. She is adorable, but my Copic coloring leaves a lot to be desired. Either way, I think my card will be perfect for a little girl's birthday, so I'll hold onto it :]
I used my December MTME paper Dotted Stripes and recolored it to Real Red for my card. My decorative circle is my MTME All Tied Up Circle cut file. I created a "window" in SCAL on both circular layers and differed the size of the two rectangles by 0.2". I added a punched flower with a flat backed pearl to my sweet PI lady's hair and two primas to my red bow. Quick and easy...which is good if this ends up in the hands of a youngin' :] I used the Sweet Sunday sketch (SSSC103) for my layout...I just flipped it on it's side:
Okay, that's all I have for you today! Be sure to swing by the CTD gals' blogs and give them some love. THEY are sure to inspire you...I'm thinking I'll have a do-over later this week! LOL Don't forget to visit our fab guest designer, Joan Ervin!
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope your week is flying by as swiftly as mine is :]
