Hello Card

Yesterday someone was asking me about my favorite color. I stopped what I was doing at that moment to think about it. Well, I came to the conclusion that I don't have a favorite one, just because I love many colors, specially the ones that make me feel happy. Yellow is one of those. Today I am featuring a pretty stamp set called  hero_product_link sku="CL953" text="Mason Jar Bugs"] along with other fabulous products to make this happy yellow card:

First of all, I want to point out that this set is quite pretty. It includes many fun bug images, sentiments, a net and even a Mason jar image. There is also a set of matching hero_product_link sku="DI172" text="Frame Cuts"] and a hero_product_link sku="DI083" text="Jar Die"] available. You can find the direct links to these products at the end of this post.

To start with  this card, I stamped the branch with hero_product_link sku="AF332" text="Caramel Hybrid Ink"], and leaves with  hero_product_link sku="AF343" text="Moss Hybrid Ink"] over a hero_product_link sku="PS610" text="Snow Layering paper "] rectangle (2.75" x 4"). Then, on another piece of card stock I stamped the daisy with  hero_product_link sku="AF331" text="Dandelion Hybrid Ink"], and a butterfly image with  hero_product_link sku="AF330" text="Neon Red to Purple"] .

After that, I die cut the stamped images with their matching dies, and I adhered them onto the rectangular panel. To give a little bit of dimension to the daisy, I stacked three glue dots behind it, and for the butterfly I simply used foam tape.

I created the background over a hero_product_link sku="PS566" text="Snow folded card"] with the hero_product_link sku="SA068" text="Bold Daisy Stencil"],   hero_product_link sku="AF331" text="Dandelion Hybrid Ink"] and a sponge dauber.

Next, I used a "hello" sentiment included in a very useful set called hero_product_link sku="CL954" text="Many Everyday Messages"] with hero_product_link sku="AF345" text="Intense Black Ink"]. To enhance the word I put Glossy Accents over it. I embellished the card with  baker's twine, pearls and gemstones.

That's all from me today. I hope you feel inspired to create with your favorite colors... Do you have one or more?
