I was so excited to play with new Saleabration products, I couldn't choose just one! The colour inspiration for my card design came from a printed storage box I purchased from Walmart, the colours are gorgeous! I just knew this needed to be the jumping off point for my card - inspiration is truly everywhere!!
So after playing around with different ways to incorporate the colours, I came up with this:
I was quite happy with how it turned out - although while making 20 of them for a card swap, I may have cursed out loud more than once :P
Here's how to make this card:
- Cut 4 strips of different coloured cardstock at 3 3/4" x 1 1/4" - I used Powder Pink, Soft Sky, Smoky Slate and Basic Black
- Adhere them to a piece of Basic Black cardstock measuring 3 3/4" x 5"
- Emboss using Layered Leaves Dynamic Embossing Folder - definitely a favourite of mine
- Adhere this layer to another Basic Black layer measuring 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and then onto a Whisper White Card base
- Stamp the flower from the Amazing You stamp set (FREE with any $60 purchase during Saleabration!) onto a stitched shape circle in Powder Pink Ink. Stamp the 'You are simply' sentiment in Basic Black
- Punch out some leaves in gold glimmer and vellum using the Leaf punch and adhere to the back of the circle. Attach to card using dimensionals.
- Cut out the 'amazing' from gold glimmer using the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies (FREE with any $120 purchase during Saleabration!). Using fine tip glue, adhere to card
- Lastly, embellish with White Perfect Accents and voila!
