Shine On

Happy Thursday! I've been such a bad blogger lately...but life's just been, well, life!

I needed a diversion today, so I decided to tackle this week's Summer Card Camp color challenge. {As an aside, if you get a chance to take this class in the future, it is awesome and worth it.} Anyhoo, I love sketch challenges, but color challenges...they're hard for me. Here's what I came up with:


I was inspired by Kristina Werner's video on mixing patterned papers. If you click on the photo, you can see the papers better. I used papers from 3 manufacturers (Cosmo Cricket, Echo Park, and We R Memory Keepers), and I tried to match the embellishments, too. It reminds me of my aunt who always matched her belt, purse, and shoes. Yeah, I'm not the matchy type, but I went for it.

Thanks for looking, friends! Have a great day!
