The Bold and the beautiful

Okay, okay. When I first saw this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge, I couldn't help but think of the soap opera. Yes, I grew up watching this soap opera with my grandmother. Is is still aired today? I have no idea.

So now, onto my card. I thought I would be stumped to mix black with a pastel color. I am really more of a bold color kind of gal. I originally thought of pink, since the design team did a lovely job with that color choice. But I ended up using green. I love how these colors work together.




In making this card, the sentiment was the last step. Since it took me 3 attempts to get my Linen/canvas impression plate lined up straight on my green panel and it is adhered using my ATG, there was no chance at removing and trying again for a better stamped sentiment. Oh, well.

  1. Such a pretty card. I'm sad I won't have time to play this challenge this week. Can't tell that it took you 3 tries. I hope you are trying out for the design team here. You'd be awesome.

  5. This is a lovely, lovely card! Just adore it's simplicity. I know what you mean about when the sentiment stamps too lightly. I usually, stupidly, try to go over it with a marker, even though I know it rarely works and makes it worse! So I applaud you for just leaving it alone! It is an even impression, so it looks like you meant to apply it lightly!
