Don't get me wrong, I really like the way it turned out. And I know
someone will love it... I just don't love it. The brightness of the yellow just isn't workin for me. I'm not a Bold color person. I'm more of the Softer Vintage color type. Sooooo, this card really pushes me out of my comfort zone. Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and go for it.
I got the focal stamp, and other kitchen related stamps, back in the spring. The background stamp on the yellow has a repeat pattern of rolling pins, measuring spoons, and measuring cups. I used a slightly darker shade of yellow ink and it helped tone down the plain yellow cardstock. It's not very noticeable but it works for me. Of course I had to get the utensil brads because, well... I loved them!
Supply list:

ReplyDeleteThis think this card is really cute! Love the watermark background and the stamp images are great.
ReplyDeleteBeauty is in the eye of the beholder, and someone will really love this card, as it indicates the home-cooking so many are missing while so far from home! Great job!
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no! It's not too bright! The images and that red and white checked paper remind me of old fifties diners, which always used those eye-popping colors to wake people up. I think it's just perfect, as as Carol said, home cooking is always one of the things at the top of troops' miss list! So, it's not a card fail, but a major card success!!
ReplyDeleteWay to push yourself. The colora are perfect with the image! TFS!!!
