As I was looking through the list of current card challenges, I found the current Card Concept Challenge to post your favorite card of the year. Since I just posted nine of my favorites, I decided to designate one of them as #1. It’s interesting that the one that rose to the top came about through an error in technique. Although I intended to dry emboss My Favorite Things Rectangle Peek-a-Boo die onto the front of the card, the die machine cut through the card front, so I had to devise an alternative, which in my mind turned out to be better than the original plan.
I like the CAS design, and also the muted colors. I’m not sure why I colored the sprig of leaves from Altenew’s Weekend Doodles in shades of gray, but it was in my stash of pre-colored and die cut images when I set out to make the card. Overall, I think it’s a design that will lend itself to a variety of cards for different occasions.
It is a good design & I like the stitching around the opening. IF you felt the card needed a splash of bling or colour, easy enough to die cut a flower or add a gem of bling. Although I think the card is perfect.
A very happy accident for your card is beautiful in its simplicity. I could see this for many occasions and in many colors. Clean and simple, to me, are sometimes the hardest to make. To know when to stop. Thanks so much for sharing with us at The Card Concept!❤️
I love the muted colors … especially right now – it feels very “winter-y”
It’s a classy, timeless design and the gray tones work well for many occasions. I love the leaves poking over the frame edges!
You’ve chosen my favorite colors of all time, Karen!! Maybe you were thinking of ME?? lol
Just total perfection from my view!
