Reno weather has been sporadic lately. 80 degree day followed by snow the next. Here's a bright card to remind us that summer IS on the way! The technique is a basic reverse stencil. I used the medium daisy on the Daisies#2 Die. By placing it against the Glossy White Paper and sponging around the shape, I ended up with white daisies! For the center, I used a Sponge Dauber and smudged (a very technical term) some So Saffron ink onto the paper for a bit brighter center to the flower. Since the Die has three sizes of daisies, you could change up the sizes of the flowers, but I liked the one size. I like the way the Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon offsets the orange. This combo came from my Color Coach. The color coach actually suggested Pacific Point for Tanagerine Tango, but I wanted a softer look. After sponging all of the daises, I had a very tangerine daisy! So I incorporated it into the inside of the card! Look!
I made two tags that pull out of a transparent pocket. The pocket is super easy to make. I took a Clear Translucent envelope (pg 171 of the idea book 102619 $4.95 for 50) which people often miss in the catalog, and cut off the top. I adheared it to the card inside which actually gives you TWO pockets. The backside of the envelope creates one pocket, and the envelope itself creates a second pocket. The tags could hold gift cards, or maybe pictures or little notes. The main panal on the right inside could have a sentiment, or maybe a larger picture. I think this layout would make a great card to send to a grandparent. Pictures of the kids on the pull-out tags, and a family picture on the right! Good Christmas card idea!
Thanks for stopping in.
