Poppy Parade
So Saffron
Very Vanilla
Fun mix of colour Riley picked for us this week, though I to substitute the red, but it worked wonderfully.I based my card of f this sketch from Lucy's Cards and it is my first skewed panel of 2011 :) I am trying to "embrace the skewed panels" a bit more this year to stretch the old comfort zone a bit. I also distressed the edges a bit, a challenge Andrea Ewen tossed my way last year and I'm just getting to. I wanted to do more distressing but wasn't sure the recipient would appreciate it so kept it light.
The picture doesn't show it well at all, but I VersaMarked the French Script background stamp on the red and the red portion of the flower - maybe I should have gone with Real Red instead. May have to go back and change that. Hmmm, think I need to make a second card with the changes on it :)

Fabulous combination of both the sketch and the colours Marisa! I love the natural fibre holding the ribbon! :)
Look at you with that skewed panel! Good for you, Marisa! LOL! This is a challenging color combo, but I love the touch of Chocolate Chip you added for balance. That French Script is gorgeous and adds just the right touch to the red CS--this stamp is still on my (very long) wish list!
Great get well and the colors work perfectly.
Love the way you used these colors!!! Excellent skewed panel!!
Love the skewed panels!!! I don't mind them if I do them myself...just don't like to be "made" to!! LOL The ribbon and raffia are just lovely and the French script is elegantly subtle...is it a snow day there? I heard on the news that schools and universities may be shut down..we are at school today..snow, but nothing we are not used to...rats!!! Would love a snow day today!! LOL stay warm and dry :)
Fabulous CAS card. Love the tag and the crimped panel! Love it!
Gorgeous Marisa; so clean, bright and cheery. xx
Really cute! I love how you did the embellishments!
I see you're loving those tilted panels after all - lol! Fun, bright colors...may have to play after I get home tonight...if I can stay awake!
Fabulous card - your distressed edges are perfect! Love it.
I am LOVING your embracing of the skewed panels....you did a beautiful job on this sketch! Those colors are so fun, I know I'd be inspired to get well.
I am loving this layout. Your did a great job with your ribbon treatment too. I am ready for some spring days.. too much snow and ice. Great job on your creation.
Embracing the distress, I see! Hope it didn't cause you too much distress! Haha! Baby steps, I get it...it DOES look great...the colors, the designs, the {gasp} skewed panels! Wow! Keep up the "wild side"...you never know where it may take you...
I love what you did with these colors! Hope to try them out myself tomorrow.
I'm tilting my head to the side as I write this! :-) Great use of this sketch and you hit this week's colors out of the park! That punched flower is fabulous! Glad to see you added Chocolate Chip too! :-)
Marisa, I think you're doing great with the skewed panels. Sometimes, these things do take a bit of getting used to and I think you're feeling better about them all the time. Very pretty card!!!
