Red and White

Quick post before we're dashing off for a day of visiting various friends: the challenge over at DCM was to make a card using only red and white. At first I thought, yay, I like that combination, it's really bright and fresh, but when I got round to making my card, it wasn't all that easy.

I started out following sketch #3 at My Paper World, but it didn't quite work, so after the semicircle under the flower at the top of the panel, I also added one at the bottom, and it's much more balanced. The centre panel uses red card stock embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, a gingham ribbon from stash across it and some of my new white blooms (edges chalked with red chalk, even though it looks pink...). The greeting at the bottom was cut with a QK Revolution die.

I also made another Tilda card, this is for middle daughter's friends birthday today, and I quite like the way it turned out. Again, the central panel was embossed with the Cuttlebug folder, ribbon is from Ribbon Oasis.

Thanks for stopping by, gotta dash now!

    Love them both. I found the red and white surprisingly difficult as well, kept reaching for my black card! Yours has turned out beautifully
