After a long day at the office, I'm usually in search of some quick and easy creativity. Tonight I decided to combine the Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketch.
I went hunting through my piles of 6" paper pads searching for papers in the three colors. I put together one card base and went searching for something to use as the sentiment and circle image … and then managed to lose the card base. Yes, I managed to lose a card in my studio (it's not particularly messy, it's just spread out, so I lay things down … and sometimes lay things on top of them accidentally (a paper pad in this case) … and then I can't remember where).
So I picked-up two more pieces of designer paper in the challenge colors and created another card. Yep, tonight I wasn't going to stress-out about losing a card somewhere in this space because it pretty much happens every time I create.
So instead I finished card #2 … and then of course as soon as I did, I found card #1, and so I finished it too. I love the fun of combining paper patterns.
Two of the valentines I had from my Valentines for Vets project were the perfect pink for the color challenge and a for making a few Galentines.
I added a sentiment from Taylored Expressions Simple Strips – Friendship for some Galentines.
The second card (which was the first card) used fun Heart Paper from Taylored Expressions Playful Patterns Valentine Papers.
Another Galentine … another perfect Taylored Expressions Sentiment.
I chuckled when reading your post. I notorious for setting things down and then not being able to find it again. I do have to say that my room has been extremely clean since last weekend, miracles!
I love that you were able to design two awesome cards, love them both! Perfect Galentines!
