A Bright Hello Card

Well, the sun did come out after my previous post and turned into a lovely day.  We seem to have rain and sun, in alternating goodness, so I hope my plants enjoy it all.  The puppies did really well at puppy class last night and now I'm ready to share another card with you.  This one is an example of a fairly easy card that has lots and lots of products used with it to bump it up several notches.

I've pulled not only my color story right from the DSP, but part of the actual design in the paper, as I turned it into a dimensional element, using punches and a little rhinestone.

Before I attached the heart, I felt like it needed a little something else, so I added a bit of lace doily behind it.  I like how the hello stands out against it all.  I'm really enjoying the die-cut words we have now... and there are 3 more words in our new catalog.  Yay!

This ended up being a really bright and cheerful card that you could send for many occasions.  I really like how it all came together.

The Last New In Color (in our series): Strawberry Slush

Today, we meet the last new In Color in our series on our new colors --- Strawberry Slush.  This is a yummy color and makes me want a strawberry snow cone.

Here are the cards based on the Color Coach suggestions:

I must say, the one one the right got lots more shots, but I do like them both.  Changing the color story really made a difference in these 2 cards.  Which color combo do you like the best?

On both embossed images, I've used the back (debossed) side of the image for a little bit different look.  It gives a nice, but subtle, texture to the background.

 Color story for the card on the left:

• Strawberry Slush
• Rich Razzleberry
• Sahara Sand

Color story for the card on the right:

Pistachio Pudding

Today, our new colors series continues with Pistachio Pudding, another very trendy color right now in the fashion world.  Our two color stories are quite different from each other, both based on the Color Coach.  

Our first color story:

• Pistachio Pudding
• Baked Brown Sugar
• Crisp Cantaloupe

Notice how I've used the reverse (debossed) side of the embossed flowers?  It's nice to have this option for a variation in texture.

Our second color story (card on the left):

• Pistachio Pudding
• Smoky Slate
• Strawberry Slush

I've used the 3 colors in the layers of the card and then again in the punched blossoms on the top layer.

Which color story do you like the best?
