The Challenge #30 - A Color Challenge


Happy Monday...my spring break is over and now back to work, but only 37 more school days until summer, so excited! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my job but being a preschool teacher is a lot of work and having the summer off is a dream. 
I have one card to share today and it is for the new challenge at The Challenge and this week it is a color challenge and the colors are so pretty. I bought some masking paper eons ago for an online class and have only pulled it out a time or two. Then I saw this card over at SemSee's Spraklying Scribbles and since I just won this set, why not make one just like it! It was so much fun to make and can't wait to play with the masking paper again. If you have not taken a peek at her blog, grab a cup of coffee/tea and take a peek, you will be so inspired.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by....enjoy your week!



I am also entering my card over at SSS challenge, the theme this week is spring flowers.

  5. You worked wonders with these colours and your touch of black! This is such a sophisticated style with your b & w twine echoing the stamped arrows, I love it! I saw KW mask a circled shape and make a wreath of florals in a recent video and thought, hmm... I may try this. I will for sure now after seeing this beauty!
