BRIGHT SHADES OF GREEN

April 8, 2020

Good day and welcome. Today’s card features shades of green with the designs coming from the lovely Garden Lane designer series paper!

Isn’t that green so very pretty and bright? I also had some fun with dies – the Stitched Shapes Dies(145372) for the greeting, the Budding Blooms Dies(149548) and the Cherry Blossom dies(151456) because this card needed some cheery tiny flowers!

I’m also playing along with this week’s layout from CAS(E) this sketch.

It’s Friday and the start of a bright weekend! I’m keeping that positive thought because brighter days are coming! That is the thought that inspired me to pull out Beautiful You(151412) for today’s card.

It seemed only fitting to use the umbrella design from the Pleased As Punch designer paper as the background for that lovely lady!

I am also, playing along with the new Freshly Made Sketches design which made it easy to put this card together.

A little relaxing colouring and it’s good to go!

The coming of spring means that the song birds will be arriving soon so I made today’s card with the Free As A Bird stamp set(149468)!

After colouring them with Stampin’ Blends, I didn’t want to cover up the background DSP so cut them out with Paper Snips and adhered them to a strip of Vellum cardstock using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen.

I used the Saddle Brown Stazon ink for the greeting but wonder if it would have looked better with the Black. I’m still undecided, but what is done is done!

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!
