Kindness Matters For The Pals!

Another fantastic Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge! What great colors; Pool Party, Summer Starfruit and Lucky Limeade. They're all crisp and cool!

I love a Clean and Simple card, but also really enjoy creating the Vintage look, so which one is it?

There's lots of open light space with large blocks of color. Actually, before I decided on a sketch for this card, I had already chosen the Kindness Matters stamp set. For some reason, I thought it went well with the Challenge Colors, and yet I stamped it in Soft Suede. I just never know what the end result will be.

I didn't want to bring too much additional color to the center of the card because I wanted the beautiful Pool Party to take the stage. I thought the neutral (Soft Suede) would help ground the other colors since I did decide on softer, more Vintage looking stamped images. Also, the Soft Suede/Pool Party combination is one of my favorites!

I used lots of dimensionals and a pretty Pool Party button embellished with some Linen Thread.

I just figured it out…let's say the center of the card is Vintage and the rest is Clean and Simple! It works for me!
