My sister-in-law just had back surgery, so I made this card to cheer her up. This guy is certainly down in the dumps. Hope he gets back on his feet soon.
I can't tell you a thing about the card stock on this card. Except for the blue and the card base, I raided my scrap paper folders. Since I moved into the new house, I have done a bit of organizing. I placed hanging folders in the bottom drawer of my desk for any scraps I deem large enough to be productive. I have simply divided the folders by major colors: purple, blue, blue green, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, brown, ivory, black, white, and kraft. Before this, it seemed that I was always cutting into a brand new piece of 12x12 card stock. I find that I am able at times to complete entire projects from the scrap folders.
I am currently working to make some sense of my patterned paper. That is much more difficult. I have decided to use 12x12 clear bags to keep new sheets and scraps of paper from a common collection. I would have to say that at this time, this is under construction.
Back in February, I was searching for a .svg that cut a circle step card base. I was unable to find one, so I designed one myself to make this Noah's Ark Card. Today I am using it again. The Silhouette was also used to cut the blue mat and the mat for the inside of the card.
You can deduce by looking at the materials list that I used several sources to make the flowers that I wanted. I love die cutting a stack of multi-colored; multi-shaped flowers and putting them together into one flower. I used this exact method earlier this month to make a flamingo card.
Does the inside of the card look pink to you? This mat is cut from the same green as the vines on the front of the card. It looks pink to me. On my phone this paper this looks green. Hmmmmmm!
