Color Inspired

For this week's Bella Blvd. assignment I was given this awesome color inspiration and asked to create a couple of cards with it. Oh it sooo reminds me of summer, it's just so citrus-y. Is that even a word? oh well. I like it.

"Thanks" card

With the weather starting to feel like Spring and this bright color combo as inspiration, I thought I'd make a card featuring some fun spiral flowers. These are super simple to make. In fact, I'd forgotten exactly how to roll them, so I just googled "spiral paper flowers", and found a YouTube tutorial to refresh my memory. If you DO make these flowers though, remember that they probably won't fit in a normal envelope. That's why I made it a "Thanks" card. I'll hand-deliver it or simply slide it into a little present.

"Wishing you Sunshine and Happiness"

This card's style is a little on the modern/graphic side with more white space than what I normally create. But you know what? It's fun to mix up styles a bit and try something a little different. I hand-cut the sun from the Cute Cuts paper, then hid it behind the sentiment. I also added a little detail at the bottom with the green buttons. Buttons are such a great way to add visual interest to card, and they're not too bulky either! I absolutely LOVE the new buttons that come in the Button Market!

Happy Tuesday!
