Today we learned about choosing three colors for our card designs and how to keep them balanced.The idea is to use the 60-30-10 Formula. My choice was to use Pink 60%, Black 30%, and White 10%.
The circle is lifted with dimensional adhesive and the ribbon secured with narrow, double-sided red tape.

OWH Design Bootcamp: Using Odd Numbers in Design
Recently, I received some foam-type embellishments as a gift. So I decided they could easily be used for the current Design Bootcamp lesson/challenge. The CS is from my stash and the stickers have no product identification. The color combination is one I have never used (pink and yellow). But, I think a young girl might really enjoy receiving it from her mom or dad.

OWH Design Bootcamp: Basic Color Theory
The Stars and Stamps blog by Operation Write Home has a great tutorial about color theory along with amazing card samples. These samples exemplify monochromatic, analogous, and complementary color combinations. My card is monochromatic and CAS. I thought about adding pink flowers or a butterfly, then decided to dry emboss the DP and leave as is. The subtle design of the paper and pretty ribbon work for me. This card will also be entered into the Shopping Our Stash Challenge 86: Use Your Oldest Ribbon and The Cheerful Stamp Pad Challenge # 52: Tickled Pink.
And I would be 'tickled pink' if you would be so kind as to take a minute and Join my site! Thank you.
Ribbon: "Holiday Time" Fabric Ribbon from Wal-Mart (never used, very old, it was most likely on sale)
Embossing Folder: Sizzix/Hero Arts and Cuttlebug
