Stampin' Royalty and Freshly Made: Oh What Fun! NOT!!!

This card stretched me - probably a bit too much!  I'm not overly comfortable with Summer Starfruit - per my rant on yesterday's post - and I'm not real thrilled with my use of the sketch.  Does "Oh What Fun" apply for me in making this card?  NOT!  But that's what challenges are for, right?  So you get to see the results of my stretching!

Oh what fun

The colors are from Stampin' Royalty.


The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches.


I've used Summer Starfruit twice now.  Now I can set it aside and continue to ignore it!!

    While I'm not a big fan of Summer Starfruit either, you've really used it well on this card. A small perfect touch and surrounded by the other colors and the white is perfect. And the dab of sequins and bling...nice!! Great card, and I do like the sentiment you've used. Bev

    Kim, this card is great! Funny how the ones we have the least fun creating are the cards that turn out the best ~ at least, sometimes! You may not be thrilled with it but I think it is a winner! I've pinned it, along with the sketch, which I think is a winner too. Thanks for sharing!

    Snowflakes, glitter - yes, oh, what fun!! Your card, despite its stretching effect on you - looks mighty stunning from where I'm sitting! If my 'experiment' cards turned out as lovely as yours, I'd be delighted! Knockout!!
