Hello, Everyone! It’s Thursday, so time for another Thursday Challenge (CCMC653) at Create with Connie and Mary @ www.createwithconnieandmary.com. Who is ready for a bright, cheerful card today?!
The Cheerful Card:
I designed this card while my state of Texas was still in the long stretch of freezing weather. As I wished for sunnier and definitely warmer days, I opted for some bright, cheery colors for my card. My card base is Daffodil Delight. The lovely Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP) inspired my color combination and is featured in the background’s four panels.
The Field of Flowers stamp set is just the right size for a small focal point (1-1/2″ x 3″). Can you spot the pretty little butterfly? He was fussy-cut from this month’s promotional DSP named Butterfly Bijou (156824). While the magenta flowers were stamped in place, the daffodil flowers were stamped, fussy-cut, and popped up on dimensionals.
The Measurements:
Daffodil Delight Cardstock (CS) – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/4″
Granny Apple Green CS – 3-1/4″ x 1-3/4″ and 5-1/4″ x 4″ (inside)
Magenta Madness CS – 3-1/8″ x 1-5/8″ and scrap to punch the sentiment
Basic White CS – 3″ x 1-1/2″, scraps for daffodil flowers and, 5″ x 3-3/4″ (inside)
The Finishing Touch:
This card is very bright and cheerful, so I do not think it needs a lot of “bling.” I added a solo rhinestone at the end of the sentiment. And, in all truthfulness, the little butterfly was added at the very end as well. I like the way this card finally turned out, and I hope you do too.
