I love drawing inspiration from challenges- especially when it's a really tough color scheme, like this weeks colourQ challenge. Or CAS(E) this Sketch! challenges- which give me a template to build off of.
This friendship and feathers card fits both challenges- and was so fun to make. I would say it 'kills two birds with one stone', but that somehow doesn't seem appropriate for this card...
I was having a really hard time figuring out how to incorporate the colors in this card- until I found the All Abloom DSP Stack in my stash. It's a stretch- the Melon Mambo is a little pinker than Poppy Parade. I like it though- busy and colorful- like walking through a garden in full bloom. This paper really is gorgeous- and it's retiring soon so it's on sale!
I tried something new with my ribbon- I looped and doodled with it trying to create a stitched look with no-sew simplicity. I just used little dots of hot glue to hold it where I wanted it, and added buttons to hide the imperfections. The bird stamp is from 'A Happy Thing', a Sale-a-Bration set that is no longer available but I just had to use for this card.
Stay tuned for a grad themed card coming later this week!
