I had a lot of fun with this creation and think it turned out pretty well. This is for yesterday's colors (thanks, LeeAnn) and the tea party for Lynn. We were to mask something on our card so I did simple masking and ink blending in the upper left and bottom right.
This was a new Club Scrap set (to me) and I thought it lent itself well to a collage of sorts. I challenged myself to do CAS and used almost every stamp in the set. To get a little more depth of color, I also added night of navy to the balmy blue and mossy meadow to the olive. The Nuvo Drops are silver and the Liquid Pearls are called midnight. For emphasis, I popped up the larger words in the sentiment. There is another lovely sentiment I'll put inside. BTW, Lynn is FMCrafter and has been unwell for awhile.
Finally, I'm adding this to the ABC16 E for elegant challenge. Not elegant in the classic sense but I think it's elegant and that's all that matters.
Ps so gloomy here, maybe I'll take another pic.

Your collage is beautiful and I love the way it looks with this week's colors. I especially love the way you popped up certain words in the sentiment. That was a great design choice. Beautiful card, and I'll go with elegant as well. Stay warm in that gloomy weather.

Nicely done, Jean, and masking the opposing corners created a great eye-catching banner to display the wonderful sentiment. What a fun stamp set, too - lots of bits and pieces to mix and match to make every card one of a kind.

Nicely done - bang up job on the sentiment. Popping up some of the words adds great interest.
