After the last challenge of over 71 entered with stripes/polka dots, it gave me an idea to do another Polka Dot card using BoBunny Bold & Bright Double Dot Designs paper, EK Success small banner punch with black cardstock, Twine from The Twinery, Sentiment from Authentique.
Here is the sketch:
Very basic, but remember this has to fit in an envelope and have no extra postage when mailing it. So with all that in mind I came up with something very simple and a friend of mine said it is elegant.
I know I am going to send this to a very special friend who does a lot for me with all kind of surprises.
Come over to
Cards in Envy and play with us. I know you can do this sketch, just don't over think it and you should have it done quickly.
Karen, love the simple approach of not over-thinking. I need to remember that more often. Your card is indeed elegant. I'm sure your friend will love it!

Great take on the sketch Karen. I love how you used the pennants, which seem to be all the rage in the paper crafting world. I have yet to use them myself but that doesn't mean you haven't inspired me to do so :)

I just love how you used the pennants for that corner element. Great card!
ReplyDeleteKaren I love your dramatic color combo and your out of the box thinking of the banner for defining your corner. Such a wonderful interpretation of the sketch and a great card. The twine accentuates your other elements beautifully! xx
ReplyDeleteYour friend will definitely love it! I like how you used the flags in the corner as your interpretation of that torn element :)
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with pink, that's for sure! I love the bakers twine, the black and white are perfect accent colors for this card.
