My final Twisted Card...

Hello!  Happy Saturday!  It is so warm and beautiful here in the Denver area today, FINALLY.  Geesh, it always seems like winter will never go away!  I kept waiting for the nice weather, I mean, HELLO, it's SPRING!  We would get warm days, but they were ruined by the crazy high winds.  Not good!  So today was 75 degrees, partly cloudy, so fantastic.  I stayed outside as much as possible!  I might even have a teeny little sunburn on one arm from sitting facing one direction while watching a soccer game (my daughter's, and yes they won!).

Today's card is my final card for the Twisted Sketches blogsite.  I love Anam and her beautiful sketches, but it's time for me to be done, and I hope you keep coming to my blog!  I promise to try and post more often...

The twist for this sketch was "fun", and here's my take:



I kept it really clean and simple here.  The green and white is something I've been thinking about and "strategerizing" in my head for a while now.  I've been longing for warm weather and green leaves, something that's been missing for a while, so this clean color mix reminds me of leaves and sunshine and blossoming plants.  While it may be getting warm, there's no green yet.  Darn!

My ink colors were CTMH (Topiary,  Pear) and my plain old white cardstock.  Stamps are Papertrey (Leaf Prints) as were the dies (Leaf Prints, Limitless Layers 2.5" Collection) and a circle punch by EK Success (2").  The sentiment was printed out on my computer and cut with another Papertrey die (Double-ended Banners).  Gems are Hero Arts. 

Thanks for visiting!
