Doily with Red Heart or Blue Bird

Two cards with the same simple design.  Silver shimmery card base, with half of a white doily, a strip of dotted paper, and a bird or heart as focal point.  I like them both. 

Card details:

  • Card stock is Neenah solar white, Paper Source royal blue, and Papertrey Ink (PTI) pure poppy (red) and silver shimmer. 
  • Patterned paper is from PTI smokey shadow (dark gray) pattern pack (tone-on-tone prints - retired) and PTI blueberry sky (medium blue) "+ white basics" patterned paper (retired). 
  • Dies are from PTI heart prints (retired), peace be still (dove), and Parisian lace doily (retired).  I used half of a doily on each card.  
  • I used a McGill 1/16" circle punch for the birds' eye.

    Blue and Orange - Hexagons

    A bright color scheme for a family member's birthday card.  All the hexagon shapes work well together. 

    Card details:

    • Card stock is Paper Source royal blue and Papertrey Ink (PTI) pure poppy (red), orange zest, bright buttercup (yellow), new leaf (green), winter wisteria (purple), Hawaiian shores (turquoise), and stamper's select white. 
    • Embossing folder is Darice honeycomb.
    • Dies are PTI two toned (large hexagon) and multiples (small inlaid hexagons - retired). 
    • I trimmed 1/8" from each side of the white hexagon to make my smaller top layer. 
    • The sentiment "happy birthday" is from PTI communique sentiments (retired), and the star pattern is from PTI bitty background blocks II (retired), stamped with PTI blueberry sky (medium) and orange zest inks.
