Summer Card Camp–Week 2

This is week 2 of the Online Summer Card Camp. We got our color scheme for the week today and, unlike last week when I struggled, I’ve already come up with a card!  I was stamping with the PTI Botanical Silhouettes set earlier today when I realized I had the perfect sentiment for the dandelion puffs in the Fillable Frames 6 set. I almost squealed.  I grabbed my Pink Paislee Hometown Summer paper pack and got everything together so I could make the card. 

Our color scheme this week is a great one:

And here’s my take on the scheme:

My main frustration is when I cut the alpha patterned paper, I glued down the wrong strip.  The F-K strip had the yellow and orange, both greens plus a bit of red that would’ve tied it all together. Right now I feel like there’s nothing tying the orange and yellow to the rest of the card. And I think my yellow needs some stitching around it…it’s not quite “finished” feeling to me.  But the dandelion puffs with the “make a wish” sentiment? I love! 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.
