Patterned Cards for June

Now that I have my paper trimmer (well two - neither of which will cut a clean straight line) and an assortment of papers I thought I would play around with using the papers as my starting point for focus and colour rather than the embellishments as I usually do.

Two ways with one print:



I have more designs in this colour range, but I am wondering what other colours apart from green and pink I might use with them.

I really enjoyed making this card, layering on the flowers, ribbon and gems:


This is my first "commission" of sorts, for a lady at work whose birthday it was. I knew she was quite arty and didn't really like florals or pastels (i.e. girly stuff), so came up with the above. I got great feedback from my colleagues at work including someone saying they would buy Eid cards from me.


I loved how easy both of these cards were - the magic is in the gems!
