Just Sittin' Here

I made this card using the colors from Dawn's latest Raspberry Suite color challenge. You know I can't resist anything with kraft! Here, kraft is paired with red, aqua, dark brown and cream for a great color combination.

I used images from the On My Couch and On My Couch Additions set from Papertrey Ink for my card. I don't know what it is about these couch images, but I really like them . . . The couch image was stamped in (my newly reinked!) Pure Poppy ink on an Aqua Mist scrap, then carefully cut out and attached over the rug using a dimensional. I added a square pillow in Aqua Mist to break up the red just a little.

I added a red panel with some faux stitching along the bottom to the cardfront, then layered on the circle with the couch image. The panel with the couch looked a little bare, so I added a button-embellished satin bow to one edge. The sentiment is stamped in Dark Chocolate ink, just above the faux stitching. I attached a pair of silver brads along the edge of the red panel, kind of alongside the couch panel to complete the card. I have a hard time photographing things with a lot of red--I promise this card looks so much better IRL!
