In November I am participating in a large number of very important Stampin' Up! card swaps.
With this in mind I decided that I need to start playing around with different colour schemes and designs in order to find 4 or 5 that have a bit of a wow factor. I will be making about 25 of each card so really need to start making up my shortlist . Over the next few weeks I will be posting lots of different cards and asking for your comments as to whether the colour combinations and / or design style appeals to you.
This first card uses the "It's Beautiful" jumbo wheel which I absolutely love. The colours are not 100% clear in the photo but they are Barely Banana, Elegant Eggplant and Cameo Coral. I have inked the jumbo wheel with ink pads that match the cardstock and this gives a lovely watermark effect on the Barely Banana and Elegant Eggplant. I then just added a strip of ribbon, butterflies from the Live your Dream set, some pricking detail and a punched out sentiment using the plain and scalloped oval punches. All in all this is such a simple card but I am really liking the colour combination.
