Today's Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers is to use Soft Sky, Basic Gray, and Whisper White. I love the soft elegance that these colors create together, so I decided to do something simple with this card. I pulled out one of my most favorite SU! sets ever, The Art of Life. It's been retired for a few years now, but I don't think I can ever part with it. I stamped the flower image directly on the Afternoon Tea paper in Basic Gray ink, stamping off a few times. I sponged around the edges of the white cardstock with Soft Sky ink. This card also fits Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply challenge to use rounded corners. If you visit my blog regularly, you know that I often round just one set of opposing corners on my cards. Dunno why -- I just love the look. Sharon's challenge gave me just the reason to do it again! :)
There's not much more to explain here -- I hope you like it! Thank you so much for visiting -- have a wonderful spring day!
