Here's their color prompt:
I used an image from the Paper Smooches Potpourri set, stamped it in black on a remnant of textured white*, and again on each of four scraps of patterned paper. I cut out the colored pieces, glued them down, stamped a sentiment (from SU Curly Cute), and stuck that onto a Pool Party base. Done.
This was waaaaay easier than the first two I tried. Some of those parts-is-parts may actually be salvageable and live on to grow up to become part of another card. We'll see.
Thanks for stopping by!
* For one very brief moment, I actually considered stamping the image again, once on either side of the first one, to get a row across. Then I remembered who I was, and laughed out loud. Did you hear me? Man, I crack myself up.
Loving your take on that colour challenge. Glad your other cards frustrated you enough to come up with this one cuz it is great!
ReplyDeleteIt's all about knowing when to call it quits, isn't it? I think it looks wonderful just as it is. I thought you had used pieces cut with the Silhouette until I read (yes, I read it) the text. You got pretty good scissor skillz.
ReplyDeleteLove this card so much, the CAS design really caught my eye xx
ReplyDeleteI love how you paper pieced that awesome shape! This makes for an awesome CAS card. Thanks for joining us at colourQ!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on this week's colours - I do like the pretty papers!
ReplyDeleteWell I don't know what the first attempts looked like, but this is great. And I love your little added note at the bottom of your post..cracked me up:) So many times I've tried to add to a card and had it end up in the trash. Glad you stopped when you did. Thanks for joining us at the ColourQ this week.

ReplyDeleteTry, try again and you mastered it. Love the way these pretty dainty patterned images pop! *smile*
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Leslie, great paperpiecing! Thanks for joining in the fun with us this week over on the CQC.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could design a nice card like that. I have atrocious handwriting, and so most things I try to hobble together look like ransom notes. Good job!
