Joyfully

After a while, I made a card. I have so many new year cards to make but I couldn't help and make this hello there card just because I really loved the color theme I followed.   I followed the sketch from My Favourite Things Sketch no #568 very closely and also the 3 colors from CAS Colors & Sketches no #446 . I didn't really have the green so used the army green color instead.  I love how this card came out and how well the silver and pink goes together. I added a few gem stickers to complete it. The girl sticker really stands out and the sentiment "hello there" makes this an any occassion card, which are my favourites. I also made an enveloope from some pattern paper to go with the card. 

This color challenge from CAS 442 really made me feel like I need to increased my paper stash because I don't have any of the colors? I tried to use my watercolors but alas it wasn't the best. Still, I enjoyed the process of making this card and it's a reminder to go and buy more cardstock ahaha.  For the background, I painted on two different pieces of paper on colors that were the closest to the challenge. Used some floral motifs and vellum to create the image and added a sentiment ephemera from my stash.
