I am representing the Freestyle Collage style along with Cindy Lovell and our guest designer Teresa Kline.
Once again here is a description of Freestyle Collage from the Card Concept's blog
Definition of Freestyle Collage:
- unrelated elements in a collection
- can be done in any style
- use of embellishments
- use of texture
- eye-catching and pleasing
When I saw the inspiration photo I knew I would have a building on the card because I have Papertrey Ink's 'City Scene' Stamp and Die Collection. It has pieces for London, Paris and New York and includes the New York taxi cab which I know is supposed to be a bold yellow. I do hope I am forgiven for making it vanilla so it fits the challenge colours.
Prima's wood veneer 'LOVE' also influenced my choices. The card became a wee story of love being sent to, or from, New York.
I love the colour pink in all it's guises. I have used mainly warm pink on the card but I included the two touches of a comparatively cool pink for a nice contrast.
