Something different

So much is going on in my head and my home that this card has taken me days to create. My 3rd try worked. I’m not into spooky, but I did like the colours at SSC345 Get Spooky Sunday Stamps.

Having seen something similar in design on Pinterest, I decided maybe I could create my own version. The photo wasn’t attributed to anyone in particular so I can’t give whoever came up with the original design any credit.

Using a shimmer sheet (old stuff in my stash) I found one that has the shades of pink and some lavender similar to the colour swatches shown. I cut 2 strips and then using a die tried to cut the circles. It doesn’t cut well but did leave a clear impression so I did the rest by hand. Not a good cutting day for my hands, but good enough. I halved one circle to make the half frames. I had the blue inked watercolour piece in my stash and die cut the leaves and the flowers using a Spellbinders set that I’ve had for a while but not used very often. I added it all to some black CS which in turn was added to the yellow creating a bright border on the black card front. For now I am undecided on a sentiment, so have chosen to leave it off for the time being.

This is definitely quite different to what I would normally create but I like the geometry of it. I wonder if it is too bright to work as a sympathy card? Let me know what you think please. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your time and any comments you may leave.
