Get out of the Zone
The comfort zone, that is. That's what the challenge this week at Stamp Simply is, to make a card that is not in your typical style. If you scroll through my blog, it would be easy to see that I tend to make cutesy cards with bright colors and I use A LOT of digital stamps. I made this card using a sketch and theme from Shirley's 2 Girls use their sketch and make a card that is predominately red. I also used the colors from this week's Colour Create Challenge which were red, gold and cream. Love that color combo. So this card is out of my comfort zone in that I used a real wood mounted stamp (gasp!) and there is nothing "cute" about it. I also added a very large (by my comfy standards!) gold bow. NOT what I would normally do. I like the end result though I'm looking forward to making my next card in my usual style! :) BTW, the card base is cream, the picture was just taken on a black background.
