Do Over Day and Liebster Award

Sometimes, when I've finished a card, I don't necessarily feel like I've finished exploring the idea behind the card. Today's cards are do-overs of this card (all inspired by the Cameo-cut card on that post). 


First I tried the same colours from this week's Colour Q. I liked the how the roundness of the 'a' in the Papertrey  sentiment echoed the rings.





Then I decided to try another colour combination and came up with this, using the same layout:


I used last week's  Play Date Cafe challenge colours, not realizing that I was too late to play!



For this card, I used the 'o' from MFT's Monogram alphabet as my ring and a Papertrey Die to cut out the space for the Savvy sentiment. I interpreted the colours as Midnight Muse, Old Olive, London Fog and Razzleberry.

On another note, thanks to Erin of createrin  for nominating MASKerade to be a Liebster blog.


(they've changed the logo since I was last nominated! lol!)

  11. Hi Ardyth - Thanks SO MUCH for such an honor, I am just thrilled : ) Especially coming from a maker of so many beyond-fantastic cards, that really means a lot to me.

    And speaking of beyond-fantastic, I love how you play around with a concept, and then come up with two similar, yet cool in their own right, cards. The cut out on the second one is brilliant. I never thought of using shapes other than a circle. It's the movers and shakers die right? Good to know, good to know.
