I was inspired by the 3 colour panel so with limited time I did a super simple card using the 3 colours as a basis.
The colours Sangria & Carolina have officially retired but you can still get cardstock in those colours and some other products that aren't sold out yet (but don't delay they'll be gone for good soon). Plus we all know our stashes are full of things like this.
I used Sangria Cardstock, Flamingo Cardstock and Carolina Cardstock I started by cutting them to 4.25 inches long and 2 inches wide and then cut off a sliver of each so they fit (like an 8th or a 16th at a time). I can't work out fractions so looking at my finished item I thought they were the same width but the flamingo is slightly thinner. I folded down the corner to match the picture.
I used Silver Shimmer Trim along the bottom to finish it off. I pulled out my recent purchase of Succa for You. Stamp set for the gorgeous Happy Birthday sentiment and stamped with
A pretty simple and effective card modelled on our Colour Dare Design that wasn't even intended as an inspiration.

ReplyDeleteLike you said "it's amazing where you find inspiration", the sentiment across your color strips pull it all together. Fun card.
ReplyDeleteI had to do a double take & then chuckled. Very clever!
