CASology: Week #17: SUGAR








Remember the Sweet Hearts candy?  Loaded with SUGAR and sweet, sweet messages of love!  You have until Sunday and noon to show your sweet stuff. Check it out here.

I had initially started with a black card base which really looked good with the pastel colors.  However, is black considered lots of "white space" ??? I wasn't sure so I switched to the white card base.

I carefully edged the hearts with a Sharpie and then mounted them on a single layer of craft-a-board (edged with a Sharpie as well).  The black crochet cotton seems to anchor the hearts.  I debated about a sentiment, but decided the hearts say it all.

Supplies:  SU Heart die, SU  & CTMH card stock, DMC crochet cotton

Happy crafting!

  4. Hi Geri ... ooh I remember these ... wasn't it so important to get the right one at the top of the tube when they were being shared! This is fabulous, the pastels are perfect and I love it with the white background edged in black ... the colours really jump out. I think the black base card idea you had would also work brilliantly ... it'd just have lots of 'black space'! I'll email you a little later and we can put our heads together about the replying thing ... it exercised my brain a while yesterday but it's (the brain) still ruminating and hasn't come up with any answers yet ... p'raps needs to bake a little longer. Bon Dimanche! Anita

  5. Love how your candies pop off the white and I can imagine they looked fab against the black too. "White space" can be any colour - my card was red this week. :) Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!

  6. Black is the new white! But this card looks just as good on the old white. Love the pastel colours.

  8. Love your pastel rainbow of sweetness! Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week! (PS - white space can be any colour - it should really be called 'breathing space' or 'clear space') - I LOVE bright colours on black!
