OLS4 - Details

Today we're posting our monthly 'details' post. This is where the DT members comment on those little details that caught our eyes and our hearts. Every month we say that we have a hard time picking out just a few, and it's true!

This month we had a lot of fun imagining where we could go and how we could get there! I love seeing how these challenge themes inspire you. You bring your talent and share your creativity with us and we truly appreciate that!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated - whether by linking up a card, or by coming by and commenting or even just by looking at all the gorgeous cards that were linked up!

Our next challenge will go live on May 1 - can't wait to see you there!


Ardyth's Details:


27 Chris F - Chris's use of watercolouring as backdrops to black line images makes this card fun and whimsical!


14 Patti - Patti's use of selective colouring makes her focal image really pop!


 
#3 Sherrie M - I love the way Sherrie's sentiment and focal image relate to each other and the grey oval grounds the tower perfectly!

Heather's Details:


#25 Sandra used red to great advantage on her focal image and the long sentiment doubles as a road to make a clever CAS card.

#21 Deepti used colour expertly; her sunny background makes the lovely hand drawn sailboat pop.

#35 Bev T used a simple monochrome colour scheme to create a very effective collage.



Karen's Details:













#2- Ingrid- Love her beach scene and how she sponged the block and blended the beachy colours         together so well.















#24- Jasleen- Great one-layer with lots of interest and details.



ETA - Oops - this post went up without Susan's details - here they are!




#12 Lynn’s crisp and clean play on a New York minute stole my heart with its kind sentiment and yellow taxi.



#33 Yvette made her card shape fit her design for this absolutely adorable House Mouse trekking his way toward happiness in lime green shoes.
