February Card Kits

My card-making group met yesterday to make greeting cards for ourselves and/or the Outreach Committee in our community.  Here are my samples for the group to make.

 A masculine card with embossed script background and a green-patterned paper, all tied up with some twine.  A dimensional drop shadow sentiment shape punched from the two main colors grounds the design on the off-white card (shown on a wood table top).

The other design used a patterned background with rounded corners and a scalloped oval for the sentiment.

The bloom was punched and stamped two or three times with different shades of orange and yellow.  These colors were blended then with a blender pen. Brown leaves, the dots on the scallops and the sentiment's chocolate ink complement the kraft paper card base.

Simple designs with good color contrast should make a bright note when sent to those in need of a lift.
