Backtracking a Bit

A few weeks ago, I messed around with a teal and orange color scheme and PTI's Sign Language to make this card, which Jen chose as a sketch challenge for the CAS Design Team Challenge. I am so honored! If you have thought about entering the challenge but are hesitating, please jump right in. It's a great challenge, and no matter what, you'll have fun. I promise!

Here's another card that came out of that day of experimenting:

Sorry for the weird lighting. Sunlight is a fickle thing through my window!

After yesterday's bling-fest, this looks shockingly blingless to me. Still, it's a pretty card, with the scallops and curvy font of the sentiment balancing the straight lines of the squares. And the colors just make me happy.

I hope they make you happy, too!



Supplies
stamps: PTI Sign Language, Birthday Basics
ink: Versacolor
paper: taken with teal, PTI white
accessories: square punches, scalloped square punch, dimensionals

    I do like these colors together - would never have put them together myself but now I will!! And I really like the scallop square. It makes me realize that even though I have my scallop nestibilities, I almost never use them!! Going to have to fix that!!
