Wow! Ottawa just had a summer day! My neices and nephews were running through sprinklers on a brown lawn that just last week had more than a foot or two of snow on it. Hard to believe! My yard, surrounded by huge pine trees and and cedar hedges still has a few piles of snow in it and our pool has floating ice but boy, spring has arrived with the power of summer.
I was shopping for a new bedspread for Kayla when this colour combination attracted my attention. Miss Kayla loves bright greens and orange. Well, this is one half right and It really looks fresh to me. It inspired me to put Certain Celery, close to Cocoa and Bashful Blue together in today's card.
I let the circles and stripes influence my final product too.
Playing with my new set "Pun Fun" and with "Seeing Spots" which helped to replicate the circle effect on the bed spread I came up with this. In real life the Certain Celery, Close to Cocoa and Bashful Blue cardstock match the bedspead perfectly. My card says "Purrrfect! and the "Thank You" comes from the stamp set "Circle of Friendship" aptly continuing the circular theme. Classic ink used was the same as the cardstocks. A Bashful Blue marker was used to colour in the cat.
Hope you like it.
When you're shopping, take a second look at the colour combinations that you are attracted to in clothing or in household decorations and be sure to try these in your scrap books and cards. Try this combination if you wish and email me your finished card to share with the group.
Although I think your card is TOTALLY adorable, I have to say, I LOVE that bedroom set!
