Each month the gals in my team of Fun n Crafty demos participate in a card swap where we each create a card for one of the other folks on the team. It’s a lot of fun to see the different styles from everyone and to take time out to create a card for a specific person each month.
This was the card I made for Bethani recently. This hostess stamp set – Summer Afternoon, made me think of her, and the image just begged me to color it in! So, I grabbed my trusty watercolor pencils and got to work.
I kept the colors more subtle and then added pops of color with my cardstock and ribbon. I grabbed some Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight cardstock for my bright colors and then matched the strip of Daffodil Delight cardstock with a piece of Daffodil Delight stitched grosgain ribbon to add some texture to the card.
I hope she enjoyed the card and I loved seeing her change it up and use this similar layout for a class she held recently. (If you are in the Mountain View area of California and looking for card making classes, she has some great ones!)
