As I was looking through the list of current card challenges, I found the current Card Concept Challenge to post your favorite card of the year. Since I just posted nine of my favorites, I decided to designate one of them as #1. It's interesting that the one that rose to the top came about through an error in technique. Although I intended to dry emboss My Favorite Things Rectangle Peek-a-Boo die onto the front of the card, the die machine cut through the card front, so I had to devise an alternative, which in my mind turned out to be better than the original plan.
I like the CAS design, and also the muted colors. I'm not sure why I colored the sprig of leaves from Altenew's Weekend Doodles in shades of gray, but it was in my stash of pre-colored and die cut images when I set out to make the card. Overall, I think it's a design that will lend itself to a variety of cards for different occasions.
