A Blog Named Hero Arts had a fun challenge - use a recycled item. I just had emptied a cookie container and thought - perfect! I ran some acrylic paint in 2 lines and mounted it on my card. Kind of fun actually.
I used Dot Spots from Papertrey. I really like this card, however I am so embarrassed as I should of used Hero Arts images. Unfortunately, I got the challenges mixed up. {dork!} I'm still going to share my card, but I don't think I will enter this into the challenge. [shoot] I was so impressed with my recycle item, I went ahead and entered this card :).
I have been noticing that colors on blogland are trending towards the softer colors. Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge this week had a soft color inspiration photo also. Since I have been wanting to see if I could do soft colors [so not me] I decided to join in.
By George, I think I did it! I used Tropical Flowers from GKD and a sentiment from PTI's Harvest Berries. A fun card to make, and I am really happy with the results! A Passion for Papertrey has a challenge of using at least 3 embellies - that I did correct anyway!
Thanks for stopping by~

These cards are fabulous, Vicki! So modern looking!
I'm glad you shared your RECYCLED item card.
Your cards are so awesome Vicki. I am not surprised one bit that you were able to do soft colors for that challenge. It came out beautiful too.
Both are gorgeous but man I love the second one!!!!
Vicki.... You did soft colors beautifully!!!!! Love this card!..... Like your recycled item too!!!... Hate when I mix up challenges or just miss them all together!
What a beautiful splash of color, flowers and pearls...a lovely backdrop for the sentiment. Thank you for playing along at Curtain Call.
What a cool effect you achieved with your cookie packaging! I won't even ask what happened to all the cookies! lol! Thanks for playing with us at A Blog Named Hero!
what a beautiful display of scattered flowers, Vicki! love the fresh and crisp feel of your lovely card! thanks so much for sharing this with us at the Curtain Call!
LOVE the cookie packaging. I may or may not have a preference for green & blue, too. Both cards are stunning.

LOVE those circles, Vicki, and what a wonderful use of the colours for the flowers on the second card for the Curtain Call challenge. Thanks so much for playing along :)
I LOVE your recycled cookie container card - who'd have thought that would look so darn cool!!?? Brilliant!
And for someone who 'doesn't do' soft colours, you really nailed it! That card is so beautiful :)
THESE are FANTASTIC! As always, YOU are SUCH a prolific crafter! You inspire me in TOO many ways to count, my friend... Great job!
Both are wonderful and so creative!
