For today I am going to playing along with The Paper Players and Less is More.. These two blogs have inspired me to put two of my absolute favorite elements together; peacocks and circles!! Seriously, I couldn't believe my creative eyes!! So here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| Using a Spellbinders stencil created this bubbly peacock colored background. Tape the stencil down, load up a sponge with ink, and apply. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy (I say that to my kids all the time.) |
 |
| Side view of the card. I wanted to border the white space so I thought this stitched rectangle die would do the job beautifully. Lots of white space around this (hopefully) CAS card. |
Challenges Entered:
Less is More: Week #292- Colours found in a Peacock's Feather
The Paper Players: PP311- Circles
It was Monika Reeck from Creative with Monika who called me out!! She said in a comment that I loved circles. I never gave it much of a thought until I started looking at my work and holy moly was she right! Circles have is no end which rests my eyes and am in love with the curves they make. They just make me happy.
And peacocks are so majestic and fancy. They can play the part of feminine or masculine with their universal colors they adorn. It never gets old seeing a peacock spread those glorious feathers. And again peacocks just make me happy.
I guess today I can sum it up as happy! Rain is gone and I just made a card that I love.. Yup... Happy!
Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope this card inspires you to somehow create your own happy. Take care everyone and see you soon.
All the best,
