Quick and Easy

Happy Wednesday.  Hope you have had an opportunity to create this week.  

Sometimes I get my inspiration for a card from the catalog.  There are many examples of ways to use a particular stamp set  shown in the catalog.  I don't know if you have ever looked through with a particular stamp set in mind, but it is a great way to obtain ideas.  

I love Quick and Easy cards.  (I am certain I have said that before).  The catalog provides many examples of just these types of cards.  

Today I choose the Work of Art stamp set (134114) on page 151 in the Annual Catalog.  This card is an example they show on the previous page 150.  I do love this set because you can use it in many different ways.  Feminine, masculine, teenage, etc.  Its now flowers, or animals.  

When I made the card, I used Tempting Turquoise as the card base.  I love this color.  I think it may be one of my favorites.  It just pops, in my opinion and makes everything look bright and cheery.  

The other color I used was Pool Party.  I am a blue girl, so I thought it worked well together.  

The example in the catalog made a square card.  I don't care for square cards.  Not certain what my issue is with them.  Anyway, I turned it into a regular A2 size card.  

The sequins are the Iridescent Assortment (144212)  There are so many different colors in this assortment that lend themselves to use with many different colors.  

I hope you will try this card.  It really was "quick and easy".

Have a Blessed Easter and I'll see you next month.
