Hello friends!
Today's project was inspired by one sheet of Ink Drops Vivid designer paper where the sage blue-greens faded to golden yellows. I thumbed through the rest of my paper pads looking for prints that would harmonize and landed upon a few prints from Echo Park It's a Boy! (Kinda nice to be able to use that paper pad for something besides baby boys, as much as I love 'em! The colors work great together IRL but my camera kinda struggled to catch them accurately.)
I'm also trying to use some of my "just shy of card-size" bits of card stock, so I went with something sort of like a buckle card using Tim Holtz tags. I like that this layout gives an opportunity for those various prints to play together even from the inside.
This photo shows how the tag (two pieces of designer paper glued together and scored so that they'll fold over the front edge) attaches to the inside. I used the tag die cut to remove a portion of the white mat and designer paper layer to eliminate some thickness/heaviness, so the tag actually adheres to the gold card base.
Since the "baby" paper print had leaves of various colors, I grabbed one of our other Fall sets to stamp and die cut a few leaves from scraps of the harmonizing prints and some card stock. No coloring at all on this card! Just stamped ink.
