This is an idea that's all over the web. Using the paint charts means you don't have to worry about matching / toning your colours. It's already been done. And it's free. What's not to love?
If you are going to make more than one of these, the easiest thing is to make a template.
I made mine using my Silhouette. You could also fold the paper & use a punch or scissors. Make the template the same size as the card base & use temporary adhesive to hold it in place while you stick down your punched shapes.
If I want to put a sentiment on the front, I just move the whole template up a bit.
Hi Jenny, if you wish this pretty card to be considered in our challenge, you will need to mention our challenge in your posting and add a link back to our blog!

Fantastic CAS cards :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make a template, clever take on the sketch.
ReplyDeleteLovely CAS card and so contemporary. I have no idea what a silhouette is though, probably something I can't afford! lol.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely Jenny!
ReplyDeleteI love this, so simple.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a card I made similar to this. I was asked to make a 60th birthdy card with out '60' being mentioned so I punched 60 tiny stars and stuck them on in a grid like this.
I love the gradation of colours you have used.
