2022 card challenge - May

Morning all!

This month the prompt is wide open to interpration, as there are lots of little details that can be combined or can be the sole focus of your design.

The focus colour for May is: Neutral + bold tone (so white, cream, kraft, or any shade of grey with at least one bold colour added to the mix)

And the pin-spiration is....

Nice colours Nat. Thank you.

Lots of choice there Nat, fabulous colours to choose from.

Here’s a card from me. Not quite how I expected it to turn out but Lara liked it :)

That is gorgeous Alison, can't believe Lara is 5 already. I'll bet she loved her card.

Fab card Alison

Lovely colours in your card Alison.
Ellie

Super, those little dots add a lovely bit of depth and shine.
Here's mine, neutral and bold.

Not sure where to put this but we'll plonk it here. The baby doesn't have red hair (no offence Ellie), my computer and printer don't agree on colours at the moment.:rolleyes:

Lovely card Susie. No offence taken, neither do I now, completely grey! :lol:
Ellie

Wow, you've all been busy! :D

Love that bright and bold rainbow Allison!

The mix of bright pinks and blues works so well on your card Thrifty Crafter. :)

And Susie, what is wrong with red hair? :P I'm still clinging onto what's left of mine... hehe That's a lovely card! Hoing your printer and computer start talking to each other properly again. ;)

Nothing wrong with red hair Nat, but it looks like the baby has a bit of a red beard too or maybe just long sideburns.:lol: The printer is still not right and now the scanner is off on one too.

Lol, well I hope you've had success in sorting the calibration settings for both. It can be so frustrating. xx

I don't know where the last few weeks have gone to, been working solid on a few things after a quiet start to the work month, so I got behind sharing the project I did manage to make earlier in the month.

My card for the prompt is a bit of a simple one, but I went with an orange retro typewriter (inspired by the camera in the prompt) and kraft as my neutral... can't beat a bit of kraft!

While the supplies were out for that card, I made another that doesn't fit the prompt so much, but includes all those pretty colours and a teeny bit of neutral:

Like the unicorn Nat.

Here’s mine. Just simple.

Here is mine using the aqua and tan colours Attachment 212801

Very very pretty Ellie.
Fabulous as always Nat

Lovely cards everyone.
Love the spots Karelyn
Susie, beautiful baby card.
Nat, I agree Kraft is a great neutral, I don’t use it as much as I should !
Ellie, pretty card.
Elaine, nice masculine card, love the shiny copper

Nice card Elaine.
Like the copper cogs.
Ellie

That's a lovely card Ellie, great use of the tag for the focal point and sentiment. :D

Elaine, the lustre of the copper and those textures with the cogs are so effective!

Alison, I remember the days when it was all about kraft! lol It was a big trend, and I still have a lot of kraft in my stash that needs using up. But for some reason those card blanks in kraft were always cut/creased on the wonky side by the manufacturer, so even when you try and trim them a little to make them straight they still make it look like you've been on the spirits while crafting...:blink::lol:

Right, I'd best go sort the blog post for the June prompt!
