Smiles

  Hi everyone and happy Wednesday :)
Today I'm sharing another CAS card with you that I've originally created for a color challenge in the Splitcoast Stampers forums. The challenge was to create a clean and simple card plus using lavendar, tan, gray and plum!
I so love color challenges NOT ;-) But thought I'd challenge myself to "just try it". 
After some thinking, I've decided to stamp the word "smiles" from Hero Arts four times, in each of the colors :) 
BTW: The plum behind the punched flower on top of the banner is not patterned paper, but I simply colored the embossed cardstock with some of the plum inks :) - hope you can see it in the close ups.


Hallo zusammen und Euch allen einen wunderschönen Mittwoch :)
Heute möchte ich Euch eine weitere ganz einfache (CAS-) Karte zeigen, die ich für eine Farb-Challenge bei den Splitcoast Stampers gemacht habe. Die Herausforderung bestand darin eine "clean and simple" Karte mit den Farben Lavendel, Beige, Grau und Pflaume.
Ach Du grüne Neune.. ich kann mit Farbchallenges ja in der Regel echt so GARNIX anfangen! ;-) Aber ich dachte bei mir: "Nix da, jetzt gib Dir einen Ruck und probier's einfach aus!" ;-)
 Und nach einigem Überlegen, hab' ich mich dann letztlich dazu entschlossen das Wort "smiles" von Hero Arts einfach viermal in den geforderten Farben zu stempeln :) 
Übrigens: Das farbig hinterlegte beim ausgestanzten Blümchen, oben beim Banner ist kein farbiges oder gemustertes Papier, sondern ich habe an der Stelle einfach nur den embossten Cardstock mit ein bisschen der entsprechenden "pflaumenfarbenen" Stempelfarbe gefärbt :) Ich hoffe man kann das hier unten bei den Detailaufnahmen erkennen.

*** thank you ***
