A Whole Lot of Color
It's Monday again and I have a new card for you! I hope all of you had a fabulous weekend, especially all you beautiful moms, moms-to-be and future moms. I'm in the latter category right now, except for being a mom to my wired puppy, Winston. :)
For today's card I wanted to do 3 things. I really wanted to use Hope from the new Hope and Grace set at The Greeting Farm, I wanted to use an old sketch challenge from over at SCS (which I cannot for the life of me find the number now but I will get back to you when I do) and I wanted to use this new Nana's kids mat stack I bought in my Michael's paper splurge a couple weeks ago. I succeeded in all 3, but let me tell you it is way out of my comfort zone to use these kind of colors. I usually go for the softer, earthy, or more darker toned stuff (very much like tomorrow's card). But since I was thinking outside the box, I also decided to bling it up! And hopefully you can tell that I had a lot of fun too!
I hope your week is full of fun and encouragment!
Deets:
Stamps: The Greeting Farm, Hope and Grace, Forest Friends
Paper: Nana's Kids mat stack, Summer Sun, AC Textured CS
Ink: SU! inks and aquapainter, Black Stazon
Embies: Jewel Dots, Primas, Pink Thread
This is wonderful! I love the colors and the layout! She is so sweet with the little deer! And the flowers are the perfect touch! :-) Traci
ReplyDeleteLove her (and the deer)!! These colors are so me! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job Kadie! I love all the bling you used. A very sweet color pallette for a very sweet card.
ReplyDeleteawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteI've looked at that mat stack a million times and not bought it. I think you've just added it to my list.
ReplyDeleteSo..this card...I love the stitching. I'm going to have to dig out my machine. And you know I LOVE the Deer. I'm so amazed at how you combined both stamp sets together. Flowers..perfect...Super Cute.You rocked it girl...We'll see this on TGF blog I am certain of that!
Karen is right - Awwwwwwwww! This is super cute! Getting out of your comfort zone is always a good thing every now and then. :) ((big hugs))
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments, my dearies!! I covet them!
ReplyDeleteJust a little insider info, not to toot my own horn, definitely not...cause I'm my worst critic. LOL But all the stitching you seen on my cards is by hand. I do have a machine but it's deep inside the garage I've been promising my husband I'd clean.
This is just beautiful, Kadie! What fun spring colors! I LOVE LOVE LOVE those ltitle green flowers! They totally make the whole card! This is just adorable and I LOVE the combo w/ the deer and the little Hope/Grace girl. How sweet!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a color Bang. Love all the elements of this card. Great Job
ReplyDeleteI adore this card, Kadie! The scene you created is so precious! Very sweet little dear and very pretty girl! And flowers you added are a very nice touch!
ReplyDeleteThis is just bursting with color and cuteness!
ReplyDeleteNow this is the way to start a week! You make Monday's something to look forward to with your cheerful creations! Love it!
