Petals - Bright Colors on Yellow

I enjoyed making this card with a sketch-style outline stamp on light yellow card stock and some very bright coloring.  It was easy to choose a red frame layer with a dotted yellow-orange card base, but it didn't quite look finished.  So I played with adding green or blue card stock, various colors of baker's twine, border die cuts...  Still not right.  Then finally I tried a narrow black frame layer.  That's all it needed.  Always interesting to see the effect of different combinations! 

Card details:
  • Card stock is Papertrey Ink (PTI) lemon tart (light yellow), pure poppy (red), and true black.
  • Patterned paper is from PTI summer sunrise (yellow-orange) pattern pack (tone-on-tone prints - retired). 
  • The images and the sentiment "just a note" are from PTI splits: just a note (retiring), stamped with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored with Copic markers G07, B24, R29, and Y38.
Created for Operation: Quiet Comfort.
