Let me begin by apologizing if you received a blizzard of post notifications today. The app I use was broken & after 4 days of trying to fix it, they finally got it working a bit too well. It sent all the the queued posts at once. So sorry about that!
Today I have a card with big impact but fairly easy to make. Just pick your colors, find a background then start die cutting. In fact all you need is 2 sets of dies and which ever paper you choose.
For the Inspiration Challenge IC1054 we are visiting Anthropologie & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS platter to use for inspiration.
To make my card I pulled out a piece of cobalt blue card stock to use as the main color. I cut it just slightly smaller than the A2 card then used one of the larger scallop oval out of the center. I cut two more borders to inside it. Another piece of the blue was used to cut the floral die & placed it behind the frames. Then I searched my stash for something with the blues & greens I wanted to use. I came across this shaving cream background with just the right colors. (See pic below)
After placing the background behind floral die cut, I cut a band of the cobalt to go on top. I knew the Happy Birthday cutout that usually goes in the blank band of the die cut would not fit w/ the frames covering it, so I used a separate band for this then attached a slightly larger white band behind it.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
