The card I have to share with you today is my favourite of all the cards I designed for this release. I love this card for a couple of reason, I absolutely love fall colours and this card is full of them. The other reason is that it expresses gratitude, something that fills my heart every day.
I created the background with the previously released Horizontal Strips Die-namics. I love that these dies were designed specifically to give you different matching options to fill a full card front. For this card, I chose to use five of the same sized strips die-cut in a variety of autumn colours. I placed the Out on a Limb Tree on the left side of the card front. Once again, I used a template to line up the leaves.
I created a hill using one of the Snow Drifts die. The hill helped to hide the bottom of the tree trunk, which allows the gorgeous sentiment to stand out.
The Words of Gratitude Die-namics is so amazing! I can't tell you how much I love this set! The thin script style is fabulous! For this card, I die-cut the word gratitude in Chocolate Brown card stock and I added a thick layer of Crystal Effects to it.
On the inside of the card, I added a sentiment from the Out on a Limb stamp set and a partial Out on a Limb Tree.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. I may stare at this one all day long. It is just absolulely beautiful.
ReplyDeletethis is so pretty ! love your design
ReplyDeleteTook my breath away for a sec. Gorgeous color combo, and I very much like how you did the Snow Drift cut in the same color. Subtle but definitely there. Crystal Effects sure did 'up the ante'. Beautifully done, Julie.
ReplyDeleteJulie, you take something simple and make it outstanding with your eye for detail! The curve of the hill where the tree is, the crystal effects on the word grateful -- the steady hand that applied it! It's the added touch that makes your cards over the top. I love the ombre panels and the stitching, of course, but I would not have thought of the hill effect or the crystal effects on my own and that's why I am so GRATEFUL for you; that you share your creativity and ideas with us.
ReplyDeleteReally love this card with the colors combo and the little hill you created....so cute!!
