Happy for You

When I saw that the latest Lawnscaping challenge was a color challenge featuring one of my all-time favorite color combinations--turquoise, red, and kraft--I knew I'd have to play along.  I made this cheery card using the challenge colors and the current Mojo Monday sketch.

I combined different sentiments--and pieces of sentiments--from the Sophie's Sentiments set to get the "happy for you" stamped in red ink on the sentiment panel.  The trio of accents at the corner of the panel includes a fluffy white die cut felt cloud, along with a paper pieced kite and a little red bird from the Sunny Skies set. A few dimensional dots helped me to arrange everything.

I used a blue plaid paper to create a sky-like backdrop for the kite and cloud.  It's edged with a red scalloped strip cut with an Edgeabilities die. A piece of red faux suede ribbon hides the seam between the patterned and scalloped panels.

I love this color scheme for holiday cards, too.  I haven't started mine yet (yes, I know it's getting late!), so maybe I'll use these colors to kickstart my design.  And speaking of holidays, if you're in the market for some holiday papers, be sure to stop by i {heart} papers.  Holiday papers will be marked down 40% today through Sunday--no discount code needed.  Happy shopping!
