well this week was delightfully peaceful which was a nice change from the previous one that was filled with the kids taking turns with allergic reactions and tummy bugs - urg! The sun has come out too which almost makes me feel like its spring except for the fact that we've woken to super frosty mornings. The challenge this week at Just Add Ink to Just Add a Sketch was just perfect for a flowery springy card (one can hope). Here's the sketch.
And here is what I made of it.
The inside (ick I just couldn't get the colour balance right on this one!)
My original colour choice was a blue/crumb cake palette (just perfect for the friend it was intended for) and then found I needed to add the red to make it all pop. I had fun putting it together, playing around with the flowers till I was happy with the arrangement and adding lots of texture with ribbon, twine, buttons, rhinestones and candy dots.
Hopefully you'll find the sketch as user friendly as I did. Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT for some great inspiration!
Thanks for visiting,
Kim

I think you achieved brilliant balance to the whole card, inside and out Kim. It does make you think of spring with the posey of flowers on the outside. A lovely idea to pop a couple on the inside too.
ReplyDeletePerfect balance, love the little pop of red - such a great colour combo. I just love the white embossed petites. This is a really sweet card and I like the inside even if you don't lol. xox
ReplyDeleteKim, this is absolutely beautiful. If I'd made this card, I'd be over the moon with it!! LOVE the addition of red; the colour scheme is just scrumptious. Beautiful work. x
ReplyDeleteI love this colour combo Kim - I agree the red does make it pop and the ruffled ribbon is perfect too. Chantell x x
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful elements and detail Kim, it's really lovely! Your little pops of red are a real WOW! xxx
