Hi friends. I'm sharing a CAS card with you today to showcase Cathy's fabulous, fresh CTD color palette. Check it out:
I'm one who LOVES layers and pretty embellishments on my cards, but I also like to change things up occasionally. So, that's what I did today when I whipped up this clean and simple card. I suppose it revolved around the fab Mojo178 sketch that I was determined to use as my layout.
I didn't want a standard circle or a scalloped circle, because I feel like that's what most people will lean toward. I wanted to do something unexpected, so I punched holes to create my circular shape and then added pearls in between the holes.
My main panel is also simple at first glance, but it was a little more involved. I stamped the bloom from MTME Bold Botanicals repeatedly and embossed it in white. I used a light colored Copic to color around the edges to create a shadow and make the blooms more pronounced. I stamped my sentiment from MTME So Sentimental on my vellum, Trendy Tags 1 in dark green Staz On. I trimmed the top edge and added a piece of Scor Tape to each side. I sprinkled SU Dazzling Diamonds on the front to add a little shimmer, added my ribbon strip and bow and finished up my card.
That's all I have for you today, but the CTD gals have some works of art to share with you! Remember, you don't have to use these exact colors...just come close! If you upload to an online gallery, be sure to use keyword CTD129 so that we can view your projects in one place.
