Saturday was grey and gloomy for the most part and we were incredibly lazy. Luis vegged on the sofa and I worked in the Craft Cave. It wasn't until we took Atti for a walk at 4:30 that I even changed out of my pjs! I might have to wear my pjs to make cards more often because I managed to get quite a bit done. This card is a two-for-one challenge card. It's a clean and simple card for Little Tangles using the colours from Dynamic Duos. I was determined to be clever with the colours and not use a flower image but you know what? If it works, it works and So Saffron and Certainly Celery just screamed flowers to me. I paper pieced the leaves and flower and then lightly outlined them with coordinating Stampin' Up markers. I love how everything pops off the Basic Grey background and the Doodlebug pearls I got while I was away are so fun!

I love pj days! This card turned out so cute. I love the bright colors against the dark background. Maybe you will be fortunate to have another relaxing crafty day today!
That sounds like a good idea to try, I need to get a lot done. Great card, love the pop of yellow.
WOW!!! I love everything about this!!!
Glad you enjoyed PJ day!
Jen a gorgeous CAS card, I love how you paper pieced and then coloured the edges with marker!
This is so pretty. The grey actually seems more cheerful because of all the yellow. Yay for pajama days.
Just love this image, Jen, especially how you've made the flower head hang over the edges ... and those teeny pearls are fantastic! Anita :)

This is such a pretty card! I love the color palette, too...so elegant!
Seriously, in the last weeks since Christmas I have only gotten properly dressed 4 times. I'm bizarrely proud of this fact...and beyond comfortable hanging in my PJ's. Heck, if you don't have to leave the house, you may as well be comfy, right? :)
Love the shape on the die - and everything just goes so well here. One of those 'perfect storm' cards :)
