These cards use Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder, and Pacific Point, and I seriously love them! Combined with a lot of white space, these colors create a very neon effect. The photographs do not lie - these cards are really that bright. The vibrancy of the colors was perfect for the super fun I Think You're Great Set.
Let me talk to you for a moment about the new lace ribbons. I do not like the lace ribbon. The vintage/shabby chic look of the ribbon is the complete opposite of my style. To get around my dislike for the ribbon, I began to cut some of it up. You may have noticed that on previous projects I cut the ribbon down to just the scallop portion. On these cards I cut the ribbon into narrower strips, and let me tell you it is the best! The pieces of ribbon are more playful, go with many different styles, and is a great way to add texture. If you weren't sure about the ribbon like me, I suggest you get some and start cutting because you are going to love it after that!
The stripes on this card are a breeze to make. Just pick up some ink with an Aqua Painter and swipe it across the paper. Easy! Another thing I love about these cards are the coordinating envelopes. I love how the In Color Envelope Paper is solid on one side and patterned on the other. The pattern is such a fun surprise for the inside of the envelopes. I embossed the card bases with the Wood Grain Embossing Folder to give them them the same pattern as the envelopes.
I got it into my head that I needed to make a Dazzling Diamonds cloud. I have no idea why, but the "hi!" stamp was the perfect excuse to do so. I don't have any great tips on how to make your own cloud. I just drew the shape that I wanted and cut it out. I used a cloud from scrap paper as a mask and spritzed Pacific Point all over the card front the create a really fun layering effect. I also used the straight and scalloped edges in the Essentials Paper Piercing Pack to paper-pierce around the masked cloud. All in all, these cards are just a lot of fun! I love the colors, the images, the textures, and the energy that these cards have.
