Hello and welcome to my Saturday post for
Our Creative Corner. This week we say goodbye to Sarah Gough and wish her the best of success as she moves on to the My Favorite Things design team. Sarah is our hostess this week and she has a gorgeous color challenge for us - Red and Aqua with a hint of pink if you wish. Check out this wonderful inspiration photo and then see what you can come up with for an entry into our challenge.
I used digital designer paper in stripes and polka dots from Pink Petticoat and found a lovely matching vintage image that I felt worked perfectly. Then I grabbed a piece of a straight
paper doily from my Etsy shop to add a pretty frill. I used the negative red and white polka dot DP to create a couple of faux buttons and added a bow with
burlap thread from my
Etsy shop.
I had a scrap of crinkled seam binding on my desk in the perfect aqua color that made a nice element for the corner, also tied with red burlap thread and topped with a tiny
rosebud Venise lace applique. The tag was cut with the
PaperTrey Ink Tiny Tag die and stamped with a stamp from the
Crafty Secrets Sweet Kids set.
That's the dets on this one. I really love this color combo and it was a fun card to make. Hope you will stop by
Our Creative Corner to see all the lovely samples our design team has come up with for this challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by and for all your lovely comments. I do so appreciate them!
UPDATE: I've had several inquiries as to where I found this lovely vintage image. It's from the blog Vintage Catnip and can be found here - for free!

Linda, I just love your work. You are so inspiring with your ideas. Thanks so much for sharing your art.
Wow! Took me some time to figure out if the red or the blue/white stripes had the pointy edge. Your mini tag and buttons with ties are all the more eye catching.
Linda, I just love this card and all your other work! The colours and that image are gorgeous and I really enjoy looking at all the embellishments and finishing details on your cards! Thank you so much too for replying to my queries!
This is amazing Linda!!! You know I am a big fan!! Love how you used the colors!!! Perfect!!!
Beautiful card Linda, I love the crispness of the white and aqua stripes. The embellies are gorgeous too ! I will have to put in another order to you soon I can see !
