You Color My World

This week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge is to make a clean and simple card with a sentiment as the focal image. This one has lots of white space along with a nice pop of color to coordinate with the sentiment I used.

I used the "you color my world" sentiment from the Paper Smooches Word Salad set as my focal image. It's stamped in black ink on a white strip and layered on a black panel to help it pop against the white card base. I wrapped a length of black baker's twine around the bottom of the sentiment panel and secured it with a bow before attaching it to the cardfront.

To add some color to my card, I fished through my scrap pile and found a rainbow array of narrow strips. I cut a notch in one end of each strip, then arranged them underneath the sentiment panel. It's always nice to see some of my scraps going to good use!
