The color might say it all

First off, Pink Persimmon is offering a 15% off coupon - how can you beat that!? Just go to their site and sign up for the newsletter.  You will then receive the coupon. 

Now for my first card, I just had to use the color combo challenge at The Play Date Cafe.

I really want to go there!!! But in the meantime, I used the color combo to create a card.

I have wanted to use this adorable stamp set by My Favorite Things for awhile now and I thought that color combo was the perfect way to color my little guy on the swing. 

I, of course, needed to add a few more colors to create my little scene but I still have the golden yellow and that great deep red the focal point.  The blue background was created with a spray of Glimmer Mist.  The card base is Core Impressions by Core'dinations from the Jenni Bowlin collection.  I love this embossed pattern for a "boy" look.  I did add some Aleene's Paper Glaze to the leaves and the wood swing just to add a little extra interest to my image although it was hard to show you that in the photograph. 

This card is my Card Positionin Systems card for this week. The sponsor is The Stamps of Life.  I loved using all of these pinks and blues to create a "girly" card with those cute flowers.  That loopy piece is cut from a piece of paper that started out 12" x 12". 

The flowers were colored with Copic markers and I added Aleene's Paper Glaze to each flower.  Isn't it neat the dimension that that glaze adds?

Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
