warm wishes...
Hey there!! Here with a card for a couple of challenges: CASE Study and ColourQ. I love ColourQ because Arielle sure knows how to pick some fantastic color combos. But this week's combo sure was a challenge for me. I think what I finally came up with combines the colors fairly well, but I'm still a bit iffy about it. Combining it with this week's CASE Study challenge did help me out immensely, though. I really liked the layout of March muse, Laura's card and so decided to play along.
Today I got happy mail in the form of some Hero Arts stamps! One of them is the beautiful botanical stamp called Fleurettes. I wanted that stamp the moment I laid eyes on it and now it is finally mine. I can't wait to color it up with some Copic markers. Today I simply inked it up with some pale lavender ink (SU!'s Wisteria Wonder) and stamped it on white cardstock. The sentiment, also from Hero Arts, was stamped using a dark purplish sort of color (SU!'s Rich Razzleberry), which I was afraid would overwhelm the lavendar, but I think the two work well together given the way I stamped each image. I finished off the card with a row of scallops in pale aqua and turquoise cardstock and a few turquoise gems. Another very simple card. But, you know what... there is nothing wrong with simple!!

I'm so glad you combined these two challenges into one gorgeous card! Those flowers are so beautiful, and the touches of blue are perfect. Thanks for joining us at the ColourQ and CASE Study!
Beautiful card, Rosemary, I love how you used the colors this week. Your flowers are gorgeous! Thanks for joining us this week for the ColourQ challenge.
Rosi....absolutely beautiful! Wow. Oh Wow. I love love it. Smitten.
BEAUTIFUL card..I love the new stamp!! hugs
No there is nothing wrong with 'simple' Rosie, when it is used correctly, and as you know I have issues with the word; especially when it relates to card making.
The word Simple has a variety of meanings; and easy, plain, uncomplicated, and effortless is not conducive to describing one layered cards, as so often they are.
I would never call your cards simple, stunning yes, as this describes your card perfectly; beautiful, impressive,gorgeous and remarkable, now you look at your card again and tell me truthfully which word defines your creation the best.
I think you will agree the latter wins hands down.
Have a great weekend.

beautiful, Rosemary! love the double scalloped edge and your choice os ink colors! your simplicity style is extravagant!
Beautiful card, Rosie! Love that raspberry color for the sentiment. I just got that stamp, too and haven't made anything with it yet.
As a CAS kind of girl, there is certainly nothing wrong with simple! I love your colours and you combined the two challenges really well. Thanks for joining us at CASE study this week.
It takes a true artist to make a simple card Rosemary.. and you are a master. Your cards are always designed with the perfect balance and combined with just the right accents!

I reckon you came up with a brilliant card for these colours Rosemary! I love the botanical image in the pale lavender, it lends itself to the sketched style of image.
