The button element reminded me of the RAF emblem once I had assembled it... it's just the choice of colour I suppose. The base is from a Stampin' up scalloped punch surmounted with a little circle from a Marianne's die.
The sentiment is a cheap clear one from Studio g, I rather like it! The paper is from Pink Petticoat and the edge made with a Martha Stewart punch.
The design didn't start out quite like this but somehow I got a smudge on the card and my first attempt at stamping the sentiment was an unmitigated failure, so the central panel was positioned so as to cover the mishaps up. This is what evolved after that.
I got a new phone today and it's taking me ages to sort out how to use the thing. Each subsequent model seems to be more complicated than the last.
You have put together a great arrangement of elements, patterns and colors. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love this card. I too have fallen under the twine spell and used the red and white a lot. I also have the airmail (red white and blue) but not found the right card for it yet, it would look lovely on your card.

I tried to do this challenge last night but it was another fail - yours on the other hand is a total success even with the cover up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors and beautiful design. I often too have to cover up "oops'es" and find that I like my card better after it is all said and done. Thanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome card - love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great design it's hard to imagine it simply evolved! I'm a great fan of Bakers' Twine too and the red you've used along with the button are the perfect foil to your fresh blue and white colour scheme.
ReplyDeleteI am so with you about phones - I only want it to send a text and make a call!
I love all the pattern you've created! The striped button compliments the bakers twine wonderfully and the harlequin pattern is one of my favs :) Fun card!! Thanks for sharing it with us at CAS-ual Fridays!!

ReplyDeleteI really like your card - the senitment is really lovely. And I agree with you, the button element does look a bit like the RAF logo! It's fab!
