Hi!
Today's card was a commission from a friend to make a card for a 30th she was going to. I was asked to make the card extra special so I decided to make a side step card and use quite dramatic colours.
I went with the Timeless Portrait DSP and so used Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and just a splash of Basic Black. I guess it's a pretty classic example of the 60:30:10 rule, where 60% of the card uses one colour, 30% is a second colour and 10% is a third colour. It keeps the card nicely balanced and easy on the eyes.
Just a view from the side showing how it sits. I liked making this card, so I think I'll try more in the future. I have to play with the measurements though, as this one was JUST too large for Stampin' Up!'s Medium Square envelopes. Luckily I was able to find an envelope to fit the card. There has to be some benefit from being an envelope hoarder!
I decided to go fairly simple on the inside, just a couple of strips of the DSP and a stamped greeting.

This card is spectacular, Tina. Love the bold colours and the style. Will have to give this style a try.
