Keep it Simple : Challenge Submission

 

Some of the cutest cards I make and see are just totally simple. I decided to keep it simple with this card I am entering into the
AAA Card Challenged # 208. The challenge was a color challenge of using Black and White along with 1 other color.

These daisies had leftover from another recent project were screaming to be used. So they became the focal point of this card. The Hello sentiment is a washi tape with hi and hello repeating as the pattern. I hope you are able to join the challenge as well. There are several more days left to join.

I also have a video to check out on my YouTube channel. You can find it here.

Attempting an Unusual Challenge

 I am not going to lie when I read the challenge over on AAA Cards I was a bit stumped😅 on what to do. 

I have never heard of a challenge that wants you to cover only 2 quarters of your card.  Well, the first thing I did was take a card base and section it off into quarters.  I knew I wanted to include the optional twist of using my favorite color (RED) for sure but what to do?  It finally came to me that if I had a repeating die or object that covered two OPPOSITE quarters it would look as if it was cascading.  At least, that was the look I was going to go for.  I decided then on my layering triangle dies.  I took scraps from my scrap bin in different hues of red, cut them out, and layered them.  I needed something...so I added some gold cardstock inlayed into parts of the triangles.

The sentiment I knew I wanted to straddle to two sections.  A sentiment in the July Spellbinders Card Kit was perfect.  A sentiment like to my friend...is so generic you could use it for anything.  

But I did fudge just a bit😆...but for a good reason.  When I erased all my pencil lines I made a bit of a bigger smudge in one area.  I needed to cover that up.  So I added some 4mm half-backed red pearls.  So technically down in the right-hand corner, I did go a bit over into a 3 quarter of the card.  OOPS!  🤷‍♀️

I am entering this card into 2 card challenges:
