Moody Greetings

I do like the combination of colors on this card. I think the Moody Mauve and the Wild Wheat complement each other quite nicely. Thoughts? 


Moody Greetings


Stamps:
   Scalloped Blooms

Paper:
   Wild Wheat A-2
   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
   Wildly Flowering DSP 4 x 5-1/4
   Moody Mauve 2-1/8" Circle (Birthday Card)
   Moody Mauve 1-3/4" Circle (Thank You Card)
   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:
   CAS
   Die Cutting

Accessories:
   Layering Circles Framelits
   Faux Suede Trim 7-1/2" (2)
   2023-2025 In Color Dots
   Glue Dots
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

First, I adhered the two strips of Faux Suede Trim across the bottom of the Wildly Flowering DSP panel and secured them on the back. I used a few glue dots to keep the trim straight on the front of the card.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Wild Wheat card front.

Next, I stamped and die cut the Moody Mauve circle and attached it across the strips of the Faux Suede Trim, using dimensionals, as shown above.

Lastly, I added a few In Color Dots to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is a Thank You Card, using the same supplies, but a different size die cut circle:

Silk Flowers

These Silk Flowers by The Paper Studio were gifted to me back in 2008. I decided to adorn this card front with them. Thoughts? 


Silk Flowers

First, I cut the 3-1/2 x 4-3/4" DSP panel on the diagonal. I then adhered it onto the top-right corner of the 4 x 5-1/4" panel of DSP. (2 triangles = 2 cards)

I then laid out 4 of the Silk Flower Brads on the seam of the card from the smallest to the largest. Since, they fit fine, I attached the four flower brads on the seam of the card as shown above.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte, and then adhered it on to the Tahitian Tide card front.

I then stamped and punched the sentiment on a strip of Blushing Bride card stock, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, and the Banners Pick a Punch.

Next, I adhered the sentiment to the lower-left side of the card.

Lastly, I added a couple of 2022-2024 In Color Decorative Dots to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
