Check out this beautiful card made with the Gorgeous Garden dies!
I think it's stunning. Don't you love the pretty blending of the greens? I simply added one color to the finished die-cut. I cut it out from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added Pretty Peacock ink with a blending brush in a few areas. Easy!
I was surprised that the finished color (after adding Pretty Peacock to Lemon Lime Twist) was close to Shaded Spruce. Who knew?! So I added a 1/4" strip to the left edge of the card to bring in that color and also stamped the greetings in Shaded Spruce too.
Tip: Adding your colors in two or more ways to your project gives them a cohesive look. For example if I use green card stock I will add a layer of green or a stamped image. If you struggle with choosing color combinations stick with just two colors. Or better yet try a monochromatic card – add one color to a neutral like white, browns or black.
I used the Lasting Joy set for my greetings. I really love this set with the mixed fonts; I find I use it often.
I added a stitched circle to the left side to anchor the greeting. Both of these dies are from the Stylish Shapes dies; they're a must have! See them here.
Here are the Gorgeous Garden dies.
I made these cards on a recent video seen here. Or click on the photo below to watch.
