Today it's time for a new challenge over at Create With Connie and Mary and this week we have a colour combination for you:
I decided to use the new stamp set 'Sitting Here' for my card today - take a look:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
Sitting Here - This set has a lovely collection of images for colouring along with a selection of sentiments that focus around the swing seat that I've featured on my card today. It's a great set for creating little scenes and as well as the cushions and bird that I've used today, also includes a cat, dot, basket and patio pot of flowers. It's a great set for practising masking (more on that another day!) Today I stamped and coloured my seat in the challenge colours and added a couple of pillows that I fussy cut out and placed, with the round one on a dimensional for a little extra lift.
Blocks of Colour - My card today is all about the colour so I decided to add a trio of colour blocks along the right hand edge of my card to highlight my sentiment and leave my stamped image uncluttered.
A Vertical Sentiment - I could have positioned my sentiment in a number of ways, but decided to ring the changes and go with a vertical placement on today's card. And I like it!
A simple card today that uses minimal supplies - using a set with many possibilities!
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

I'm off to my coaching group this morning and have some lat minute preparations for my open house tomorrow to make this afternoon. Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project; until then, happy stampin'!
