i'm stickin' with yellow (RIC, Crafty Cardmakers, HOC)

Maybe you saw my first card for the Runway Inspired challenge...



No butterfly this time, but I'm stickin' to the black and yellow. And light and airy.


I let myself be inspired by some Kesi Art PP and that heart die. Added some splatters and sequins and a sentiment.

And cuz it's all about the sentiment at Crafty Cardmakers #125, I'm hooking up. Also playing at House of Cards again where it's about Punches and Dies.

Thanks for looking.


Supplies:
Paper:  Bringmann, PP Kesi Art
Stamps: WPlus9
Ink : Versafine
Tools: you die SSS, heart die Kesi
Other: sequins, spray ink

a bright spark (CMBC, HOC, Virginia's View )

Did you guess from this sneak peek where I'm going with today's card?

It's over to the Cure for the Monday Blues Challenge #31. Here's the fabulous inspiration photo.


And here's what I got from it. The headboard immediately jumped out at my cuz I have the PTI art deco frame die! Then I got the color blocking of the wall, yellow and white. While my eye was there the red vase jumped at me and I knew something bright red had to appear on my card. Then I noticed the cushions on the bed - purple piping and ikat-ish.

So this happened.


Crappy weather. Crappy photo. But if you look closely you'll see that I stamped a barely there ikat pattern on the white portion in a nod to the pillow. And I painted the stacked die cut frame with purple nail polish. See the shine? I love that trick.

Why did I angle the frame? I honestly don't know. It just looked boring when straight.

Thanks for a great inspiration photo, Taheerah A. And thanks for looking friends.

I'm hooking up over at:

Virginia's View - #8 Clean and Simple too.
