Today's card is a bright and cheerful card...at least I think it is. :) I made it for my daughter since she isn't going to be around when it's her birthday and I want to send it with her. I decided to look through some blog challenges that I follow to help me out since I haven't played with many lately. The bright colors from the challenge colorQ caught my eye and the sketch challenge at Create With Connie and Mary was just the type of layout I was looking for.
I used colors as close to the ones listed as I could. I never had Poppy Parade because I was just getting into Stampin' Up! when they had that color. I used Watermelon Wonder instead since it seems to be pretty close. I did have Lucky Limeade once upon a time, but I don't have anymore of the card stock left so I used Pear Pizzazz. I sure wouldn't mind if Stampin' Up! brought these two colors back if they revamp their colors again.
This is the fun sketch that I used from Create with Connie and Mary. I have to admit I like a sketch that has a little something to it, but not too much to it and this one is just right!
After I finished the card I realized I can't give it to my daughter! Why? Because she doesn't care for white cards! lol She likes cards nice and dark. I think I'm going to use all of the same colors except the white and create something similar with a black background instead.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
