I dedicate this Color Challenge card to my DH. He is a thinker, and a tinkerer... and he loves bright colors and sparkle. His current project is to reconfigure his BMW. I am not exactly sure what he is up to but he had the door torn open the other day, and was reconfiguring wires.
I started early this morning with a water color wash. Then I die-cut the gears in the sparkle paper, then the grapefruit paper, then layered them. It is when I looked through my sentiments that it came to me that this card represented my DH. I added the you, and then I added a triangle of rhinestones to complete the composition.
On the inside I wrote - You .... are a beautiful man.
The shadow of the gears is in sparkle glimmer paper. The background is watercolored in Daffodil Delight. I thought about adding some Grapefruit Grove but I really like the contrast with just the yellow in the background.
I left this card for my DH this morning at his breakfast table. He loved it.
