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?

I 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
These are so eye catching, Jen! I think I like the 1st one the best ... but all are delumptious. Hugs xxaxx
I 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!
I love them all!
Thanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!
