Hello! I have a bit of a buying/hoarding issue with word dies right now...and I'm sort of embarrassed at the number of dies I have that say "hello!" Too funny. Oh well, at least I know they won't go out of style! LOL. Hope you had a marvelous weekend and hope you're ready for some crafting fun with me today!
My card for today was completely inspired by two of my favorite card makers: Debby Hughes and Joy Taylor. Aren't they the best? Their work is beautiful, creative, clean, and just plain awesome. They both use lots of white space and they both have the amazing knack for combining lots of different elements - but having it come out perfect. These are two things that I struggle with. So, I set myself a goal to make a card that captures the essence of these two ladies' styles.... I'm happy with the result and hope you like it too!
The first thing I did was go around my craft room and choose some of my favorite supplies - wood grain paper, vellum, and AC Pow Silver Glitter Paper.... Then I gathered some dies. The "hello" die is from Simon Says Stamp. The butterfly and leaves are from Memory Box and the Pinking Circle and the Bow are from Taylored Expressions!
I LOOOOOOVE this mini bow in silver! ACK! I had the perfect shade of green flower in my stash and I love the bright color against the silver too.
I cut the leaves out of Vellum paper and mounted them on the bottom of all my other layers. At the end I added a few white Doodlebug Sprinkles dots. I was going to use pearls at first, but the glossy white looked better.
Here is a close up of my layering.... I used Glossy Accents to glue everything down nice and secure.
As always, thank you so much for coming on by to see me! XO
LOVE this Wanda!! =)So BEAUTIFUL!!

Ooh, I LOVE it, Wanda! Really crisp and clean, with a bold zip of color with that lime green. Really love this mixed with the glittered silver, and the vellum, too! Total awesomeness!
