This week’s challenge at CAS-ual Fridays was to create a card using pastels and blacks. This finishes my stash of birthday cards for April. You’ll see the rest of them in the next day or so.
This gave me a chance to play with a couple more new purchases from Papertrey Ink: the 2012 Birthday Tags (which I’m sure will get lots of use) and the new Tag Sale #6 die which I love. I stamped the image on Aqua Mist cardstock and cut the tag from Bitty Box, using the Aqua Mist pattern. I love the way so many of the Papertrey products are color coordinated. The card itself was created from paper I purchased at the very first stamp store in Rochester so it must be at least 15 years old. The store closed years ago. Since then we’ve had two other lovely stores, but they are no longer in business either. The other die is the Vine Border, and the ribbon and pearls are from Michaels.
Really great design work! Striking use of the colors 🙂 Thanks for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
This is such a bold design and really stood out in the gallery. The one small pearl is lovely and finishes the card perfectly. Gorgeous and perfect for the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays this week:) Thanks for joining us!
Your cards are always beautifully coordinated Karen and this one is no exception. We had a fanatstic local scrap store which closed down a couple of years ago, I think it was one of the main reasons I first looked into digital scrapping.
I don’t think we can get papertrey products here at all – and I love to see how you create with them. This is beautiful
What an absolutely stunning card!
Our LSS store is closing as of this month – it was one of the few that’s stayed open the last several years.
Beautiful bold design, Karen! Love it!
