Another multi-challenge card today. The colour palette at Just Us Girls this week is perfect for Easter - lovely soft, spring colours. I paired the colours with this week's sketch from Waltzingmouse. I also used PTI's Make It Monday technique of adding colour to non-neutral cardstock.

| Supplies: CS: SU Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Soft Sky, Pink Pirouette, white; Stamps: Elzybells; Ink: SU Baja Breeze, Memento Tuxedo Black; Other: PTI die, Making Memories string, Basic Grey & Doodlebug bling, Copics |
I stamped the eggs on to SU cardstock and coloured them with Copics. (Not sure where that egg stamp is from. Perhaps Doodlebug?). You can't really see it in the picture but I twisted together pink, blue and yellow embroidery thread for the banner string.
I'm sitting here second guessing myself now and thinking that maybe I should have used coloured card instead of a white card. Or maybe not. The white space just doesn't look quite right somehow. Not quite balanced maybe... Thoughts?
Jen, I think we are always are own worst critics! Love how you strung the eggs...so adroable. Thinking about the white space, but have no suggestions...I like the CAS designs. Maybe just make it one banner for the sentiment instead of two...but again I really like it!
ReplyDeleteI love your little egg banner! Great job coloring them and I love the added sparkle of the rhinestones! Thank you for joining us at Waltzingmouse Sketch this week!
ReplyDeleteI think your card is very cute. I like it as is, but wonder what it would look like if you had patterned paper for the background. Or even used an impression plate. But, really, it's nice as is.
ReplyDeleteYour egg banner is just too cute! Love how you used the JUGs colors! Thanks for playing with Just Us Girls!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I LOVE your easter egg banner! What a fabulous idea. The colouring of the coloured cardstock is perfect for them! Gotta say I love all of the white. It doesn't look empty at all. :)
