I’m thrilled to be joining the AAA Cards as Guest Designer. This honor follows another one—winning the “Mostly White” challenge in December. Luckily, I was able to postpone my guest designer stint until after our January travels. The challenge for CAS Game #134 is “One Corner” with an optional twist of “Music.”
It was a bit of a surprise to me that I own very few “musical” stamps, and none that would grace a corner design. Instead I went with a relatively new Pretty Pink Posh floral set, “Anemones.” One of the criteria for the AAA Card Challenge is to have significant white space unadorned with any embossing folder or design.
After coloring the images from the Anemones with Copic markers, I fussy cut them out. I mounted the flowers on the corner of the Fresh Snow Linen card with dimensional tape, and then tucked the leaves in underneath. The sentiment from Simon Says “Tiny Words,” was embossed in white on a thin strip of black cardstock. Simple, CAS for sure, and lovely, I think.
Here’s a closer look at the flowers. I added some dots to the center of the flowers with a black Glaze pen, but it doesn’t photograph well! Thanks to the team at AAA Card Challenges for the honor of guest designing, and to STAMPlorations for the generous gift certificate.
I love you purple anemones, I have some in my garden (De cean anemones) and they will bloom shortly…Ihope. Thank you for being our Guest designer at AAA cards. Love your empty white space!
An absolutely stunning card, those anemones are so beautifully coloured Karen. Thanks for being such an amazing Guest Designer and also for mentioning in your post about our love of unadorned unembossed empty white space.
What a gorgeous card, Karen! Beautifully coloured – I love all that purple! Thanks for being our GD for this fortnight’s AAA Card challenge!
Beautiful coloured! (I noticed that myself, and not just repeating what others have said!)
I love this card! I had to come to tell you how beautifully it’s coloured and those centres are so striking… glaze pen? I don’t know what it is! But what a gorgeous card adornes the AAA gallery. Thank you for such a lovely make and joining us as our guest. Hugs ~ Ishani
Congratulations on your Guest Designer post. Your card is lovely, and the small bit of leaves extending beyond the card base is such a pretty design element!
Super pretty. Love the color of your flowers. Amazing corner card. Thank you for guest designing with us at AAA Cards. =) Tracie
What a lovely card!
I’ve been pulling out “musical” embellishments lately as I have an all-day hymnal journaling event coming up at the end of the month. I’ve discovered music notes washi tape, piano keys washi tape, and some musical notes stamps. 🙂
