Crazed
Yes, It’s been rather quiet here the past couple days! I’ve been on a mini staycation here at home from blogging & the general craziness of life, taking time to refocus and muster up some of the mojo that has been sneaking away recently. I’m back today with a card for Dynamic Duos before I head off into a busy weekend! To be honest, I’m feeling ready for the slowdown of cooler days! It’s time. I actually wore a sweatshirt last night while sitting in front of the open windows! Love that!
This week at Dynamic Duos, we get some softer colors to play with:
Feeling the need for a couch kind of day this week, I made this simple card with the color duo! The pattern on the couch reminds me so much of a couch my in-laws have in their basement (from the 70’s, perhaps?)! Oranges & greens on some sort of velvet textured material! I added the strip of embossed cardstock to the lower portion of the card to bring out the dots on the couch. Other than that, I popped up the little round cushion with a foam dot and added a little drop of Stickles to its center.
I hope you’ll take some time to visit the design team blogs as well as the guest designer blogs! There are so many wonderful cards this week!

Great card, Melissa. I could use a couch day, too! Hope you find some time to chill out and relax. 😉
What a fun little couch Melissa and I love the embossed polka dots under it. Sweatshirt weather is the best huh!!
Love, love, LOVE this one, Melissa! Although I have been having quite a few “couch days” since my foot surgery. THe little popped up pillow and embossed accnt are the perfect touch. Have a fun weekend! 🙂
Love this card Melissa, you know i love that sentiment. Your couch definitely has a 70's vibe ha ha. Fantastic!
Everyone needs a couch day now and then! The pattern on the couch reminds me of a well-loved old sofa my parents used to own! Cute card! I too love sweatshirt weather, and look forward to more of it!
Yes, please, I want to be on THAT plush sofa with my heating pad tucked under! Awesome card that draws the eye right to it!!
I like how you paper pieced the couch and the row of dots underneath.
This is really a cute card. I like the sentiment…nicely done!
