Some creative ideas have been lingering on the back burner for days. I really loved the Color Hues challenge to use Turquoise and Coral. I made a card but being in the midst of difficult circumstances I just didn't end up liking it too well. It is posted HERE if you missed it.
Today's card uses those colors but with a bright, airy feel, and lots of white, reflecting my mood on this hot summer day. Hope you like it!
Trying to use the Freshly Made Sketch yesterday was like work - and that sample is in the trash. The sketch, was not the problem, it's fabulous! Can you believe they've offered weekly sketches for a DECADE?
Adding a pale stenciled panel in the background allows the florals and colors to blend well on my card. Much better, I think.
That's all for today! Thanks for your visit, stay well. Happy crafting!
Be yourself.
Find delight in your craft.
Make something beautiful!
Supplies used:
Stamps: The Greetery - Summer Sketches stamps and dies, Cotton Comforts

This is such a great color combo and you've really shown off the colors beautifully. The brick background is soft and subtle and makes the florals really shine! Thanks for joining our 500th sketch celebration at Freshly Made Sketches!
