Hey everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! Ours was blissfully free from any major plans, lots of family time, great weather, and some time with friends too. Way too short!
Anyway, I thought I would share a card I made a while back, but haven't gotten around to posting.
This is one of those cards that looks more time consuming than it really is. Sometimes you just need a few great products and you can whip something amazing up in no time.
I used Paper Smooches' Retro Arrow Die with some Studio Calico woodgrain cardstock to make the front piece. This was popped up over a gorgeous print from Webster's Pages Strawberry Fields collection. It's got a wheat field (or I guess strawberry field) that transitions to sky and has some bokeh effects in it too. I chose a portion that included that transition.
The sentiment was die cut from that same paper, a little further down on the sheet so that the yellows are a little bit brighter and more intense. To ground the sentiment I added another small strip of that same paper.
That's all for today! Hope you have a great start to your week!
Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock: Studio Calico - Woodgrain paper; Webster's Pages - Strawberry Fields Field of Gold paper; Avery Elle - Silver Fox cardstock
Other: Paper Smooches - Retro Arrow Die; Papertrey Ink - Phrase Play #7 Die; Scotch - Foam Adhesive; Tombow - Mono Adhesive
What a great masculine card.
ReplyDeleteSo nice when something so simple comes together in such a lovely way! I love that 'thankful'! I got it, too...pretty much just for the 'thankful' word! (And I really like the funky little leaf that comes with it!) It's such a great stand alone sentiment...looks lovely here!!!
