RED Collage Card

I had lots of ideas going through my head for my RED card.....and I landed on doodles, cutouts, and collage.

At first I thought I would have  more layers of flowers and plants in the bowl....and even a little touch of green.  But in the end I kept it fairly simple...just a few red cutouts....black and white doodles...and a touch of gold.

The polka dots are circles cut from deli paper gelli prints. 

This is what my table looked like early on. Do you see the napkin in the top left?

That red border became the foreground.  I thought it was tableclothish.

I generally like to have a tiny little border as a frame.  So I cut my collage piece just a bit smaller and mounted it on the card stock that I had edged with red paint. 

The back was optional. I used one of my favorite children's book characters...

Olivia...whose signature color is RED! 

And of course....it's not complete without a red envelope liner!

Now I'm thinking about Orange!

Every time I post one of our rainbow connection cards....I'm going to try and include some sort of a rainbow.  This time it's some familiar fussy cutting I did last night....I like the scraps as much as I like the little flowers. I have plans for these.
