This month's challenge was to try a nontraditional color scheme for a card or tag. Nichole put together six different color schemes and I picked this one:
The pinks and turquoises are so happy together! :)
I created a couple cards using this scheme. Here's the first one.
I adhered strips of cardstock to my card base - Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst, Hawaiian Shores, and Aqua Mist. Then, I die cut a banner out of white cardstock and stamped "be merry." on it. I got the stamp a long time ago and not sure who the manufacturer is but I thought the modern sans serif font was a good match for the minimalist look of the card.
Here's another card I did following this same scheme and layout - just moved around the cardstock strips and changed the sentiment.
And here they are together.
Do you prefer one over the other? I think I like the first one best. Maybe because of the font of the sentiment, or maybe it's because of the order of the cardstock strips. Can't quite pin it down.
Also, I should note that the layout of this card was completely inspired by a piece of stationery I saw on Pinterest. Isn't it a great layout?!
Enjoy the rest of your hopping.

Love them both. What a great layout. I think I prefer the one with the sentiment in pink. At least on the computer, it pops more.
I love colour blocking -these cards look fabulous.
these are awesome! love the stripes of color!
I'm a sucker for great CAS graphic style, so I LOVE these. There is something about the "be merry" card that pops a little mor.
The bold colourful stripes create a fabulous clean and simple design. Great set of cards.
ok -- can I just tell you...BRILLIANT! ha ha! I love these! I think the Be Merry card stands out to me more, but only because of the color of the sentiment, but these are awesome! Clean, graphic, awesomeness. Thanks for sharing!
