~Jackie's 'Tender Shoots' challenge~

Wednesday, July 17, 2013

I don't know about you, but I have been delighted to see regular posts from Jackie Rockwell again!  I've admired her designs for quite some time now, and am so happy to see her blogging again!  She's hosting a few color challenges to help her jump back in the swing of creating.  This card is for her color challenge using 'Tender Shoots'...a pretty green that looks like this...


We can use our closest match to that green and other neutrals in our project.  I created a soft vellum flower for mine...

...and paired the green and white up with gray...


...(I liked those stripes!  MMEye!)  The sentiment is a current favorite from PTI's Birds and Blooms.  It's so pretty, and I know I can throw it on the front of lots of cards and later make the inside fit what ever occasion comes up.  You can find all the details of Jackie's challenges HERE, but the challenges using the Spring colors are open until September 22.  A random winner will win a free blog banner by Jackie, which may be gifted to a friend if the winner doesn't need it.  I'm lovin' that idea!

Thanks for the challenge, Jackie, and thanks, friends, for stopping in today!

      Yes, Lisa...I have 'cleaned it up', shall we say! I DO hope you see it as an improvement! I just worked with the existing file for now, as I don't know much about it (yet) but I feel better about it! Glad you noticed!

    Beautiful card! Yes, I noticed that your blog home page is different. I like it!! I really like your vellum flower. Also, those enamel dots, I know you've used them before. They really make the center of your flower pop!!

    Soooooo pretty! Love the grey/gree/white combo and absolutely love the velum flower! The angled lines beautifully capture the movement of the flowers!

    Sweet photo backdrop! Beautiful subtle reflection of the card in the black glass/plexi glass.
