Unfortunately I needed to send out a sympathy card today and
this is the one I made for them.
Red and Green are opposite on the colour wheel which is why
they look good together. Therefore, lighter shades of the same also look good
together. This is a card I made in pink and light green using my Spellbinder’s
Create-a-Card dies.
First I taped the light green to the pink checkered paper
and taped them together and then added the gold peel-and-stick line and glued
it all to the card base. The image is a .99 stamp from Hot Off
the Press (Paper Wishes) which was coloured
with water coloured pencils with some blue chalk for the sky. Then I started
die cutting using one die from the A set and one from the B set which gave me
perfect 1/8” borders on each piece. Then I just had to glue them together and
on to the base paper. The strips along the border were then layered and added
and then the sentiment which is also a peel-and-stick. The flower on the end of
the sentiment is made up from left over bits from a peel-and-stick fancy
border. No use throwing them out. I just arranged them in a circle, added a
gold circle in the centre and made a flower. The bottom borders look crooked
but they aren’t – it’s my bad camera shot. I get in a hurry sometimes and don’t
notice that I didn’t shoot straight on. The top right corner of the stamped
image looked bare so I added three small gold peel-and-stick dots.
Hope everyone had a great Monday!
Cheers

You are a crazy busy lady. I have a question for you... how much do you charge for your cards? I need a sympathy card, and a homemade one would be terrific.
