Hello ladies! It's
Our Creative Corner challenge time again and the lovely
Vicki is hosting this challenge this week. She has created this sketch for us to use. I have to say, it's a layout I LOVE to use
....of course every time I've done it, it's on the horizontal....one of my first cards accepted for publication was almost this exact layout!
....and I have another one with it coming out soon...
This week I decided to use this DCWC paper I've had laying around for a while. I love the color combinations in this pad; yellow, green, tan, silver, black and lots of glitter! The only thing I didn't like about this card is the stitching. Next time I think I'd do a silver thread instead. The black is too much and seems to throw it off the balance....hummm.....
Anyhoo - go check out what the amazing OCC team has come up with, Jen's is a knock out!

Beautiful card! Love the doily and the bow. I think the stitching looks great. What kind of sewing machine do you use to stitch on your cards?
Lovely! That soft orange plays nicely against your other colors and I am loving the pinned ribbon/bow.
Wonderful - I really love the colors in the papers you've used! I like the way you rotated the sketch - it looks wonderful with the doily background and that lovely seam binding ribbon. Such a lovely sympathy card!
Kristin, this is just stunning! I love that your color palette comes straight from that great paper. The layout looks so cool flipped to the side, and your embellishments are gorgeous. I think the stitching is perfect in black, but would also work just as well in the silver like you mentioned. Hope you have a great week! (and thanks for mentioning my card...I'm so happy you like it!)
Kristin, every single bit of your card is fabulous! I love the rich colors and that fluffy bow. I really like the stitchng...the contrast is perfect. Absolutely beautiful!!! Enjoy your day! :)
Fabulous card Kristen ... love the colour scheme, very very pretty and that orange sentiment panel is very striking aganst the doily. Gorgeous ribbon treatment and I so love the stick pins you have added, great embellishing .... oh, and I think your stitching is perfect adding just the right amount of contrast!!!
Kristin, wow what a fabulous card! I love the colors in the pattern paper, and the silver doily is the perfect addition! I think the black thread is striking! and tie in the black beads on the push pins. Love the whole overall look of your card! FABULOUS!
How beautiful! I love the soft palette of fresh colors and subtle patterns. Your bow is awesome!
This is amazing, love the sketch turned like this, the doily and ribbon are so pretty!!!!
