I am a Pinterest-a-holic. There, I said it! I not only browse for card ideas looking at actual cards, I also browse regular art for card inspiration. When I ran across the piece of art below, I was a bit wowed by what I thought I might be able to do with a few die cuts and stamps for the front of a card. Click HERE or on the photo to take you to the Pinterest pin.
The card below was a quick one. I used a piece of watercolor paper I already had on hand that I had smooshed Bermuda Bay ink on. I used dies from the Winter Woods Bundle and the Rooted in Nature Bundle for the tree cut outs. (However, if you only have the Winter Woods, you can still make this card happen.) I used a die and stamp from the Merry Christmas to All Bundle for the sentiment and the Hardwood
I used Coastal Cabana cardstock for the die cut word (with a shadow word cut from Soft Suede cardstock). I thought using the Bermuda Bay cardstock for this part looked almost harsh an Coastal Cabana works so well with Bermuda Bay. Hard to tell in the photo, but I brushed Clear Wink of Stella on the die cut word and the Coastal Cabana scrap I stamped the word "wishes" on. I am by no means done experimenting with this method of using negative space to frame images. I hope to post a few more cards using this method in the next few weeks.
You can make this too!

I LOVE everything about this card, Kim! I was playing with some "hardwood" cardstock I made from a photo over the weekend, and I really wish it had worked as well as yours!! I'm hopeful to be able to use a picture or two from those I took in the aftermath of our blizzard as the peace and joy inspiration for this year's cards. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful and I love the colors. However, your link doesn't work...it doesn't go directly to the card but to Pinterest site.
ReplyDeleteCami...the link for my Pinterest inspiration was supposed to go to the original Pinterest pin. My inspiration was actually a piece of art, not a card. Once you go to the Pinterest pin, look below at all of the other ideas.
DeleteGorgeous!!!!
