This is my card for CC996. Barbara is our hostess and she chose lemon lolly, polished pink and parakeet party for her color trio. Dessert option this week is to use an embossing folder.
My card is using a new to me die from Spellbinders - the painter's palette. I created a shaped card using the die. My DIL is an art teacher, and this will be her card for Mother's Day.
I cut the artist palette in ivory cardstock. The paint blobs are cut in the challenge colors + designer paper in crumb cake and smoky slate.
I cut two of the blobs in lemon lolly cardstock and added the same color ink to get a deeper yellow shade.
The brush is pecan pie and metallic silver (neutrals).
I used a brush and the challenge color reinkers to splatter ink on the palette. What artist would have a clean palette?
I used the Tim Holtz "chitchat stickers" to add the sentiment. The Mother's Day greeting will be on the card inside.
Hope you can play along with us this week. Barbara has chosen some bright Spring colors for your card designs.

Fantastic artist's palette. You designed this beautifully with your special creative touches. Love the splatter. What a great Mother's Day card for your DIL. I imagine she would display it in her classroom.

Mary, I *LOVE* this clever card. We use rectangles too often! I especially like the white brush, just tipped with the "paint" color. A perfect card for an artist!
