Hi creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here today on The Greetery Blog. Happy Summer! Hope you’re doing great and having fun in the sun! How about that new release last month? Loved it so much! I feel like you can never have enough thank you cards on hand, so that’s what I made to share with you today. I used the gorgeous Wild Wetlands dies along with a muted/vintage color palette. I love that the Wild Wetlands dies can be used in any color combination which totally changes the feel of the project. I have to remember to push myself to try new color combos…so I’m reminding you too!
My finished card is an A2 Kraft card base, layered with a cream panel (adding to the vintage feel) cut with the Postal Frames die … My card’s focal point is that gorgeous floral spray – Wild Wetlands. I also used the brand new sentiment set from the last release – the Laid Back Basics. I really love this cool font. This card is pretty clean and simple and would be great for mass production. I also like that it can be used to send to a man or a woman for a thank you.
I started by die cutting out all of the flower pieces from the various colors. Then I used silver metallic ink to add details and shading. I used two shades of green to the spray which makes the dies have more depth. I stamped the sentiment in burgundy ink and die cut it out with the matching dies. I affixed everything to the card using foam squares. My finishing touches are just a few burgundy pearls.
That’s it for my project for today! I hope you have an awesome and creative day!
Wishing you all the best as we head into the heat of Summer! When it’s hot, I like to hide out in my craft room! It’s my pleasure to share with you every month. I will see you soon… In the meantime, happy crafting!
XO Wanda
