Today I am sharing a card with the black, kraft, lime, newsprint and white combination challenge from ColourQ along with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches
I used a Kraft card base, black mat, then newsprint (DP from SU). I sponged some Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink on the newsprint to tone it down a bit. The lime polka dots are Bo Bunny matted to black. I have been noticing and liking the double tag designs so went with that--repeating the kraft in the background. The Lucky Limeaid (SU) stamped flourish is from an old stamp in my stash. The sentiment is from SU's One In A Million set. I tied the tags with lime/white twine and added a big rhinestone for bling. I think this could be used for a wedding card or anniversary card.
Here is the sketch I followed:

I like the layout of this card. I may have to try that double-tag trick. I think it looks particularly nice the way you've repeated the craft cardstock.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous sentiment and a beautiful card...the bling is a lovely detail too! Thanks for playing along with Colour Q this week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card.
ReplyDeleteNice card! Love the sketch, that block of green behind the tags makes the tags pop off the page just a tad and I like that.
