Remember when I made a card for Layton's Legacy? Well, I made a few other cards as well, packaged them up, and mailed them off to Lea. I also included this "Thank You" card to thank her for having this card/donation drive for the NICU parents at U of M Masonic Children's Hospital. This is the card I made and sent to her.
What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
Birch Press Fiori Plate Layer Set
Hero Arts Thank You Pair Fancy Die, #DI192
3 Co-ordinating Colors of Card Stock {I used yellow, dark blue and light blue}
Scrap White Card for Sentiment
As you can see, this was a VERY easy card! It was the first time I had cut the Fiori plates and I really just wanted to see what they looked like in person. But I felt the die cuts were so pretty it would have been a waste not to use it, so I turned it into a Thank You card! I think I would have put more thought into my color choices had I known I was going to use the background but I was (and am!) so happy with the way it came out, I used it anyway. Plus, I think the colors are sort of summery and fresh.
All I did was attach the layered plates onto a white card base, cut the Thank You out of white card, and attach it. I like this card so much I am going to use it for my Design Team project at Not Just Cards September Challenge! It's such a fun place to play, as the theme is always Anything Goes! And, as the name states, you can submit ANY type of art - not just cards!
So easy and so elegant. These dies are pricey but I feel the versatility makes them worth it. I've recently purchased a few other sets and I'll be sharing them soon! Thanks SO much for stopping by and I hope to see you soon ~ Christi
PS: Hope to see you at the challenge! Remember, Not Just Cards!
