Happy March 1st everyone! It's time for a new color combination from the team over at the Color Hues Challenge Blog. Our current color duo was chosen by Carol who is our host this fortnight and she's chosen a combination that's perfect for St. Patrick's Day cards. I don't usually cards for this occasion so I went with a generic spring theme.
I thought the Hey Girl sentiment would work for just about any occasion/event, including birthday and thinking of you.
I began with the embossed white background and the die cut greenery which I adhered to the bottom of the card panel. The gold butterfly is adhered with a bit of gold thread underneath and the die cut sentiment was adhered just above the stem line. Lots of wonderful white space but yet just enough texture to keep it from being too boring.
Supplies:
Penny Black - Garden Edges die
Cottage Cutz - Garden Stems die
Simon Says Stamp - Blossom Field embossing folder
Crafters Companion - butterfly die
Honeybee Stamps - Gal Pal stamp and die
I invite you to join us over at the Color Hues blog where you'll see lots of Green and Gold inspiration from our DT as well as our special guests. I do hope to see your card in our gallery!
As always, thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!
Jules
