Better Get Better

For this card I played along with 2 challenges....Dynamic Duos and The Paper Players.

Over at The Paper Players they have a Tic Tac Toe challenge and I went with the middle row...get well, bling and yellow. For the Dynamic Duos we were able to choose a color to pair Basic Gray with and I chose Daffodil Delight, I just love putting yellow with gray, I think its a great combo!

I used retired stamps for this but current paper. Ever have a card envisioned in your mind but when you go to put it together its a complete fail? That's what happened to me today. I had originally planned to use the retired set Oh, Whale but it wasnt coming together so I put that set back on the shelf. I perused all my current sets and nothing was jumping out at me. Upsy Daisy is such a great set, I refuse to let it collect dust, so I decided to use that one. Then the sentiment drove me crazy because again, none of my current stuff was making me happy. I ended up using an older retired set called Quick Thinking and finally, I was happy with my completed card! The banner with the sentiment is popped up with dimensionals.



Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Upsy Daisy (retired), Quick Thinking(retired)
Paper: Basic Gray, Whisper White, Gingham Garden DSP
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray
Accessories: Big Shot, Framelits Bitty Banners, Nestabilities Circles, Rhinestones, dimensionals

  2. Very beautiful card, Lisa and so worth the effort to get there. I agree that yellow looks fabulous with gray and pink is my other favorite color paired with gray. Great job.
