Do you get stuck trying to start a new project?
I know this is something many crafters struggle with – where to start? There are times that I don’t know where to start either, and looking at card after card on Pinterest doesn’t really help!
I find that I always fall back to one of three aspects of design, no matter what the occasion or sentiment I have in mind: Layout, Color, or Style.

Class #3: Color Your Day
Therese Calvird is the amazing instructor for this course, and she has lots of really good foundational tips for incorporating color into design. She talks about color wheels, the 70/20/10 principle she uses for color balance in a design, and different ways to incorporate color into design through various mediums like watercolor or color pencil. If you get stuck on color, the Color Your Day class will help bolster your confidence to make smart color choices!

My Project
With a pop of color and lots of neutrals and whitespace, along with contrasting embellishments and a sketch-worthy design, my project really backs up a lot of what Therese teaches in her lessons.
Thank You!
Time is precious and I’m truly grateful that you chose to spend a few minutes of your day here!
I would love to connect with you on Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest where we have the opportunity to share and interact even more!
3 down, 7 to go!
I can’t believe I’m already on the third project for my Level 2 Certification! I cannot tell you how fun this has been so far – not that I would ever expect learning and reviewing craft techniques and tips to be boring! LOL! I’ll be back on Saturday with my next project. Yippee!
you make a difference!

Good Mornin’ Nicole, The colors are very nice. I love the stamped layer. Yes, it takes me a long time to get into a card. I create on the fly and sometimes I have to re-do a portion because I didn’t think it through. I very rarely do the same card twice, always learning.
Have a blessed day. 🙂
I like the neutral garden images and the pop of color.
Looks really fab Nicole! And your post is chalk full of information that every crafter would love to read. You should definitely post this in the Alteneew FanGroup.
I am so glad that you entered your beautiful work in the AECP assignment Gallery. Awesome details and design! Super work!
Thanks Erum! I just found the Fan Group on FB and requested to join. Thanks for the suggestion!
