This weeks
colourQ pallete had my stumped. I'm not sure if it is the amount of grey days we have had since Christmas or that my creative mojo was on holidays. I couldn't wrap my head around it and was running out of time. Friday night I started sketching some ideas, and when I went to start creating not one of them was going to work for me. Then it hit me, I rearranged a few of my colours and it came together so easily. The finished card put a smile on my face and now I have an encouragement card to pass on to someone who needs some.

ReplyDeleteLove your sweet card. My favorite cards are always the seemingly simple ones that are loaded with great details -yours is one of them!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Tracey! I know how you feel about this challenge. They are such beautiful colors, but I had a ton of embellishments all over my desk by the time I finished my card. It just took a while to finally come together. Yours is beautiful! TFS!
