Kind Words
Monday morning greetings, friends!!! It's a professional day (inservice) in our district, so I'll be having a lovely day with my collegues learning something new about education. I love these days to share and reflect about teaching :) Today's card is for this week's Curtain Call Colour Challenge over on Stacey's blog. She went all out on the neutrals this week, with a pop of red. I had a couple of cards in my head, but this soft, serene one beat out the loud, in-your-face card...hehehe. I was inspired by Julie technique of layers papers...I just love how she fits colours together this way :) I used a Stampin' Up! embossing folder, but turned it over to the negative image for a softer look. Two pops of red on the pearlized pins and then I stepped away!! Didn't want to ruin it by adding too much. Hope you are having a great start to your week. Summer has decided to return just because I changed my closet over...need to dig those flip flops out!! LOL

Wonderful neutrals card and I love how you snuck in the pop of red. The flowers behind the sentiment are great - just used that on a card myself. Think you meant to type Julie instead of Jennifer...I did the same with an e-mail to Tanis, I called her Amber?! Hope your ProD day went well.
Oh Diva this is STUNNING! So chic, so elegant, so beautiful (not just the card of course *wink*)
Love your subtle stamping behind the sentiment and that pop of red is just PERFECT!
Hope your day was better than mine! I came home in a foul mood - it's never the kids that annoy me, it's the staff LOL!
Hugs,
