Colorful Thank You


Mona Pendleton's CR84FN Challenge has taken off and has it's own blog now! How fun! Today's card was made for her weekly challenge. Can you tell which photo from the inspiration got me creating? :)


Here are the DEEtails:

I loved the color swatches and all the fun elements in the photo on the right, so I added them all to my card! I started by overlapping strips of color on the bottom of my card - Barely Banana, So Saffron, Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette, Apricot Appeal, Peach Parfait and Pretty in Pink. Then I adhered a Martha Stewart doily and a strip of white card stock, stamped with the sentiment from SU!'s Flight of the Butterfly set. I added some colorful Flower Designer Brads (which just happened to be the fight colors!). My dad, who lives in Japan recently sent me a care package with lots of fun Japanese Masking tape, so I knew I had to incorporate it in this card! A little strip of Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon with some pale orange Japanese Masking tape finishes the card off.

Special DEElivery:

This one is being mailed off to my Auntie, Uncle, and cousins to thank them for a generous Target gift card (my favorite store!)
