CAS-ual Fridays sure knows how to mix it up with their challenges! This week we were given a tick tack toe board and had to chose one row to inspire a card. I went with the bottom row - buttons, flowers and twine. I came up with my idea pretty quickly. I have a ton of these confetti card blanks and a lot of the confetti is red and turquoise so I thought they would work with my colour scheme. I used a large Hero Arts cling stamp and a big button from my stash. The twine is from a kite that crash landed in our yard on Good Friday. The owner retrieved their kite but left the string and I've been making use of it ever since! :) Anyway, I liked the bare flower on the card but I wondered what it would look like if I added some colour to it. I thought I'd try adding the twine colour to the flower first.
Meh. Interesting but I didn't love it so I made another one and tried adding red to the flower.
I definitely like it better than the twine coloured flower even though it looks a bit candy cane-ish. I'm actually kind of torn now between the first and third cards. What do you think?
perfect...love the story behind the upcycled twine:)

ReplyDeleteI love the first one as it is. I do like the red one too but would be inclined to put it on some kind of tropical background! Vx
ReplyDeleteThese are so eye catching, Jen! I think I like the 1st one the best ... but all are delumptious. Hugs xxaxx
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but am probably partial to the first one. It's clean and crisp and that button is perfection! Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays! Hope you'll join us again and share more of your beautiful work!
