This is my second post for today. A clean-and-simple birthday card awaits you one post down!
Hello again. :D
This card has an eclectic look to it. I wanted to try something different. The base is stamped with Hero Arts' Antique Background. Beyond that, all the colorful layers are die cuts from K & Company.

Oh Colleen, this is so fantastic... I love the saying on the die-cut... the background is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteEclectic, yes, and it's a look that's difficult to pull off and have it look good. You've managed that beautifully!
ReplyDeleteYour card here looks great. That touch of twine is the perfect touch..
ReplyDeleteHugs~

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteClassy. Love the eclectic mix of elements. Perfectly put together.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful sentiment, Colleen! I love the collage you've made here. You do collage so well!
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been MIA lately--I've checked out almost 10 of your posts--WOOOOOOW! You knock my socks off--SUPER TALENTED:)
ReplyDeleteThis one is just beautiful. I have looked at the K&C die cuts and wondered how they would turn out on a card. Well, you just nailed it with this one and may make me buy some to play with. I love how the colors worked out and your sprinkling of pearls was just genius!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Ellen
Beautiful card, I love all the pretty embellishments together =) Thanks for joining our YCU challenge!
ReplyDeleteVery cool card. I love the eclectic look! Thanks for playing along with us at Young Crafters Unite!
ReplyDeleteI have collage creations on the brain today (that's the topic for today's Stretch Your Stamps lesson), so this is quite a treat to see! You mixed these elements so very nicely, Colleen! That background is so beautiful, and I just LOVE how you scatter those pearls around so artfully. I've tried but just can't get mine to look "right" or scattered when I try something like this. Yours are perfect!
