Spread the love take 3

As promised, here is my last card (ok, three cards) for the Spread the Love challenge Amber of Damask Love created. My blog crush that inspired this card is another than Kristina, the master mind behind Friday Focus, Make a Card Monday, and so many other inspiring videos. Her style is amazing and clean. Love that her designs can be messy, fun, serious, for the young and the young at heart. In honor her and the challenge of using colors that I don't normally go to, I created three cards.

The colors above are beautiful together and they make me think of springtime. I don't, however, normally go to them when I create my cards. Not sure why though because they really are pretty together. Now, I don't have exact colors so the ones I used below where the closest I could come to with what I have :)

This first card was my attempt to create movement on my card like I see on some of Kristina's. This one was really a stretch for me as I don't normally do this I think. While I like the idea, I think that I needed a bolder sentiment as the one I used really gets lost in the circles.

Sorry for the bad picture. I just couldn't seem to get a good one, even after photo editing

The second card started out wonderfully. I love banners (the ones from WMS are some of my favs) and the clean look of masking for layers without the bulk, but with the sentiment so far down I decided it was too stark so I played with idea of making it a square card. The results of which is below. Of the three the third is my favorite. I think the size of the card works well with the three banners and the sentiment. The slightly rounded corners softened it up just a touch which made it feel more airy to me.
