Photo Details
Poster: mamaxsix

 This card is a demonstration of why I LOVE playing in the challenges. I am not a brights kind of gal, but when I'm pulled out of my comfort zone, I usually like the results. I didn't have a chance to play yesterday in the color challenge, but I had pulled out these papers and liked the boldness of the graphic designs with the black framing. I love Taylor's sketch from today's sketch challenge too! I liked the stripes in the dp and decided to repeat that in the bg by embossing. I put this card together kind of backwards...I hadn't picked an image or sentiment until the rest of the card was already put together. I thought the card was graphic enough to go masculine if desired, so I wanted to go with a more neutral image. I ended up with a die cut and an embossed black sentiment which is a Desmond Tutu quote.

Very striking! Love your choice of textures and papers, and the Desmond Tutu quote is perfect!

I love your step out of the comfort zone, Gail! The bold colors with black framing and the stripes are beautiful...and the quote is too!

What a beautiful mix of dp and that is a beautiful way to focus on your sentiment!

Wow, this turned out great! The bold colors with the black edge really make this pop out of the gallery. And that sentiment is fantastic. Wish I had it.
