One card - three challenges! That's the way I like to do it!!
The
CAS-ual Friday challenge is to use pastels and black together - sounds so easy but is tougher than I anticipated. Next up is
The Play Date Cafe Challenge and last is the Fall To Layout from
Clean & Simple Stamping.
Swapped the circle in the layout for ovals that were stamped with the Cornish Heritage Art Nouveau backgrounder (retired) with A Muse Studio Papaya ink.
A spritz of Blue Skies Glimmer Mist added the blue without being too overpowering. The rounded corner and pink sparkly swallow help keep the card from being too "right heavy".
Other supplies - Swallow dies, Diamond glitter, Smile Inside stamp set, Bubblegum and Sky cardstock (all from A Muse Studio)
Amazing job connecting all three challenges with one pretty card!
ReplyDeleteWay to multi-task Michelle! Love the sparkly pink swallow. PINK!
ReplyDeletebeautiful colors. love it.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colors, and I love the black frame. I also have the swallow die, but haven't used it very often. thanks for the inspiration to pull it out again!
ReplyDeleteNice combo of challenges- Love the placement of the (PINK!) bird! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Michelle! I love how your bird sits on the sentiment panel.
ReplyDeletewhen looking a painting, we position the elements in a way that they will direct the eye back to the subject.
ReplyDeletethe rounded corner in the upper left position, gave that effect to me. though i'm trying to wander somewhere outside the orange block, that corner brings me back to it. tricky, and beautiful. :)
Gorgeous! Wonderful color combo and the bird is the perfect touch :) Glad you played with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
