Yesterday I shared a bright and colorful card featuring the Peaceful Moments bundle. Today I have a soft and pastel card; totally different in colors and style but using the same bundle.
Candace B made this one for our Flowerbug's Team swap. She chose to use Blushing Bride with Soft Sea Foam, White and Old Olive. Just gorgeous in a totally different way.
White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
Blushing Bride is 5 3/8" X 4 1/8"
Soft Sea Foam is 5" X 3 3/4"
She sponged the large petals with Blushing Bride. I just love that little bud at the top of the leaves. It's one of the dies in the Poppy Moments set. You can see the bundle here.
The card on the left has the large, sponged & colored die-cut on the front. But the card on the right is the colored layer underneath the other. So cool! I show how this is done with the small Blending Brushes in the video here.
I used three colors for these cards – Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. It also features Very Vanilla which I don't use often enough. I found the small blending brushed worked really well for the detailed areas on the die-cut. You can see these brushes here.
Here are both cards with the actual colored die-cut piece on the front.
I accented it with the Sentimental Park, Stylish Shapes and Amazing Thanks dies. Also a few Brushed Brass Butterflies finished the garden feel of these cards.
Below are the cards that show off the area under the sponged die-cut. The colorful sponging reveals the die-cut detail on the Vanilla but the flowers and leaf areas are colored. I love this 2 for 1 technique! I'm sure you have some dies you could use like this too.
Many of the cards in this kit are fun folds. Remember that everything is pre-cut for you including die-cuts & punched pieces. The only thing you have to cut is your brand new designer paper that's included in the card kit.
Besides a half pack of designer paper you also get shares of three spools of twine and Black Matte dots. The PDF tutorial is free in the kit. It's $28 plus shipping and the kits are mailed out at the end of the month.
I design these cards so all you need are greeting images; this time I featured the Happy Labels stamp set seen here. Add it on to the kit to go and you're just $6 away from a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Contact me here to add on to your kit. Black ink is the only color you'll need to finish the cards.
