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.

Cards Using Coloring Techniques, Part 2

Today, let's look at the second of our 4 cards using coloring techniques.
This card features adding color by stamping onto a color of CS with a coordinating ink.  I love how this one turned out, using Sahara Sand.  I hadn't used this color for quite a while and find that it looks fabulous with our new Mossy Meadow.
For this card, I used Calypso Coral ink on Crisp Cantaloup CS for the flower, stamped and punched 2 of them, curled the edges and attached them offset, so you see all the petals.  I then used Mossy Meadow ink on Pear Pizzazz CS, cutting this 'flower' to make into the leaves.  The center of the flower is Crushed Curry ink on Daffodil Delight CS and, after punching, it is attached with dimensionals.  With all the punching involved, it makes this a fairly quick card, in spite of all the pretty details.  
Remember, I am featuring a different look for each envelope used with my 4 cards.  This one features adding DSP to the outside flap of the envelope, to coordinate with the card.  Notice that I've added an extra layer of Sahara Sand for the top layer of the card.  This adds so much to the elegance of a card.
Again, here are all 4 of the cards for our Friday Night Cards class.  Come back soon for my next 2 close-ups.
