*happy little sigh*
The dandelion stamps in Gina K's Sun-Kissed Autumn are lovely, but they don't have much visual weight when stamped in soft colors...they actually look a little wimpy. It dawned on me that stamping the dandelion in black over a large circle of a soft color might work better...and it does!
The circle of soft pool is echoed in the border of pool polka dots (not too small, not too big, just right!) and by the soft aqua pearl accent. The black sentiment has an exclamation point, the shape of which mimics the points of the dandelion, further enhancing unity.
That particular shade of blue just makes me so happy!

ReplyDeletePool might be one of my favorite colors ever. Loving how you've stamped the black over it.

I loved the feature "interview" on OWH -- the cards were great -- but your reason for doing this brought tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the feature! You nailed it for me - while I like the CAS style, your precision is what I'm drawn to [and want to get right too! :)]
