Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #44






This week's colors Kristina has for her Challenge spelled one thing in my mind: BABY CARD! :-) 

So I went to make one. This time, I took more time to think it over, to make sure it's balanced, in short I concentrated more on details, which is not like me too much. When I don't recognize their merit, details wear me out like nothing else. But in this case, details make or break a card, so I decided to give them more credit. 

Are you a detail person? :-) 

"been waiting for you" Card   5 x 5 in

Materials

~ Cardstock: ColorCore - Nostalgia;

~ Paper from Paper Studio (Baby Girl)

~ Ribbon from RibbonFX;

~ Buttons from my husband's grandma;

~ Scalloped punch (1 7/8 in), Round Punch (1 1/2 in).

Maybe you have noticed I've been using the same brands over and over again. My card making supplies are not so rich, but I have been ordering more on line lately. I'm waiting for my goodies to arrive! :-) 

~Thanks so much for stopping by!~ 

Please leave me a comment about how you go about deciding the details on a card. Are you a "simple card" person, a "triple layer card" person, "lots of ribbon and brads" person...I'm curious!

Hello~! I'm kinda a pretty simple couple of layers, ribbon & a brad person. I admire the full-on, lots of layers & stuff cards, but they wear me out just looking at them as well! You've done a great job with this card - fabulous baby card.

Thank you for the compliments...I've been making cards for a couple of years.

I saw Kirkpatrick on your email addy, I had a professor at VC with that name, are you related?

Hi Daniela,

This is such a sweet card. Great job!

I am a triple layer person for sure...and then some ;-). My ribbons are never very far away either. I like symmetry too...my cards are usually quite symmetrical. I have to use sketch challenges to get out of that loop ;-).

Best wishes,
Sam.
