Stars & Stamps blog's challenge this week is this sketch.
While watching the weather channel this morning (yes, for our house, this is exciting TV), one of the women had on a pattern black on white skirt, black jacket and yellow shirt. LOVED it. I told my husband - that'd make a great card! Do you do that too? See patterns for scrapping in people's clothes or get layout ideas from certain outfits?
Anyway, here is her outfit...er, I mean, my card for the challenge. I used drywall tape under the yellow ribbon for the horizontal piece.
Well, I'm off to make some more of these cards since I have a 12x12 sheet of the background paper to use up. I've got to spend a day using scraps only again. My scrap bags (sorted by color) are getting full.
Keep your heart open and let your creativity change someone's life. Thanks for stopping by...Susan

Cool card! Those were my high school colors. The contrast is great.
ReplyDeleteI like yellow and black together. Nice card.
ReplyDeleteI love your colors and lol'd over your inspiration at the Weather Channel (we're always watching that)! I read somewhere that there is color inspiration all around us! Your card is very pretty and I love that mesh strip.
ReplyDeleteI love the outfit your card is wearing and that sentiment is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe color combination is very appealing, I love to see colors "pop" when black is used. Shows creative talent!
ReplyDeleteYes! I do that too - get ideas from people's clothes! I love everything about this card. Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
ReplyDeleteVery nice in b&w with a touch of yellow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Susan. Way to take some inspiration and run with it. The yellow really is a wonderful addition to the b/w. TFS.
