GCW - Week 3

Greeting Card Wednesday

Scrap Attack!

March sure has roared its wintery best today.  We had a winter mix of snow and sleet rain down for most of the day.  This calls for a nice springy card to brighten everything up.

I dug through some of my scraps and created this playful card in a standard A2 size.  The designer paper all came from the same paper pad. I love to layer my pattern paper with a neutral color. I think it gives the card a more professional finished design, but sometimes it can make the card very heavy.  I decided to use white for my layers in order to make this card bright and light. I also used a white card base.  This way I element a layer, by using the card base as the bottom white layer.  Then I cut the bee pattern paper 1/4 of an inch smaller. This really helps to keep the card light. 

I took some baker's twin and wrapped it around the honey comb layer three times, and then tied a bow.  The main daffodil image was a cut apart in the paper pack.  I brought in some blue textured cardstock to help it pop off the card.  I also popped up the daffodil image with some fun foam.  Lastly, I added some Glitter Pen to the daffodil flowers to give the card some extra sparkle.  

Products Used:

• Garden Party 6x6 Paper Pad by Pebbles from 2013
• Blue Texture Cardstock
• White Cardstock
• Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter Pen
• White and Gold Bakers Twine
• Tombow Tape Runner

The card just screams spring to me.  I hope today was the last of the sleet and snow with warmer days are on the way. Along with the some pretty flowers!
