I love starting my cards off with a color scheme in mind and see where it takes me. I love this fun, minty green color that I selected for my card base and deepened the color by adding stenciling over the top using the Inside & Out Tags stencil.
I then added a strip of bright pink paper ribbon, die cut using the Ribbon Maker: Large Scallops die. I added my sentiment and little bow on a die cut Crest No 3., stamped using the Folk Heart Sentiments stamps and dies. I pulled in more pink with my die cut BotaniCuts Hollyhocks. To finish, I added a few die cut leaves using the Big Branches: Ruscus. I also added white glitter cardstock photo using the Romantic Corners dies.
The result is so fresh and summery! Thanks for stopping by and joining me today!
