Halfway through the week - YAY! This week at Freshly Made Sketches Karren is our hostess and her sketch is a real treat to work with. Karren ranks up there as one of my card making heroes. Not only is she a very funny lady, but she creates the most amazing cards!
I had a million ideas running around my head when I saw the sketch. I knew that I wanted to start with some patterned paper for the background layer, so I started this card-making journey by perusing my monster stash of DSP. I've always loved the colors in Urban Oasis (still mad about SU retiring Kiwi Kiss), so I started my card there. I quickly chose Basic Gray and Kiwi Kiss added a pop of color from Regal Rose and I was done! Easy Peasy!

Oh that Kiwi Kiss - they never should have retired it! What a great accent color! And I love the regal rose as well - pretty card!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card! I love the pink flowers and mixed with the kiwi kiss flourish...I never bought the Kiwi Kiss or paper; it is probably my fault they retired it! Lol! If it was in the catalog I would be buying it now. I absolutely love that color! Beautiful card, Jen.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty,Jen!! The colors are so so beautiful! I love the flourish and the twine! Pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to use the twine! Such a lovely color combo! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Jen! This is so stunning! Kiwi Kiss was apparently before my time, and I love it with the Regal Rose! I am so crazy about those enamel dots, too, but they'll be yesterday's news by the time I remember to get some!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comments - right back atcha! This card is gorgeous. I love Kiwi Kiss as well and this card is a stunner! The pop of pink is a perfect touch.
