Be Mine

I found a new challenge blog, The Card Concept, and their first challenge is a color one.  Here are the colors we are to use:


And here is my first card that I'll be entering:


supplies: vanilla card base, various washi and fabric tapes, sentiment from an old Impression Obsession valentine stamp set, Latte chalk ink, pearls and enamel dots, a Dear Lizzie dimensional embellishment

We're supposed to classify our entries into a card style.  I need a little help here.  This could be considered Clean and Simple because it would be quick and easy to recreate.  It could also be considered Clean and Layered because I used embellishments.  The 6 different card styles are defined here.

It's been ages since I've been able to enter challenges, and I'm enjoying it!  Looking forward to seeing what other challenges will be upcoming at The Card Concept!

That's a beautiful card Lin! Aren't those colours super! I may have to have a bash at it. I think I would have classified it as Clean And Simple.

Barb said...

I would go with clean and layered, but what do I know! Lol!

Either way, it's beautiful, Lin! I was hoping to find time to play in this new challenge too - we'll see! Hugs! ♥

I love pink and brown for Valentine cards. I think clean and simple is a good classification for this one - it's fabulous!

Lin I love the selection of tapes you have used, such a lovely mix of patterns. The stitched heart and pearls finish the card perfectly.
