Straight Lines and Circles on Green with Navy

Today's card started with the patterned paper and the light green card base, then a navy blue square to give the patterned square more definition. The bright white color and alternating size circles of the border strip added interest and continued the circle motif. Next I stamped some circle stems, carefully placed within the die shapes, and a sentiment with curves and straight lines in its fonts. The navy strip behind the white gives a foundation to the focal area. I like the modern, graphic style and the mix of colors.

Card details:

Card stock is Hero Arts celadon (light green) layering paper and Papertrey Ink (PTI) enchanted evening (dark blue/ navy) and stamper's select white.
Patterned paper is from Pink & Main not too spooky 6 x 6" paper pad.
Die is PTI simple circles border.
The circle stem images are from PTI grunge me (retired) and the sentiment "thinking of you" is from PTI take three: spring (retiring), stamped with PTI enchanted evening ink.

Created for Operation: Quiet Comfort.

Operation: Quiet Comfort

Starting in early 2016, most of my cards are now made for Operation: Quiet Comfort.
As explained on their web site, "Operation Quiet Comfort exists solely for the purpose of honoring and comforting America’s military men and women who become sick and injured while serving in harm’s way. We also provide support to those who care for them. We collect, package and ship supplies for U.S. Military men and women receiving care at medical facilities abroad." These packages also include cards with messages of support and encouragement ... "thinking of you, patriotic, thank you, cheerful cards." I'm happy to have the opportunity to support our troops in this way.

About My Cards and My Blog

Unless noted otherwise, all my cards are A2 size - 4.25 x 5.5" when folded.

I was making cards long before I started stamping, so for my card images, I sometimes will do my own line drawing, then color it with markers. To use it multiple times, I scan it before coloring, then computer-print it. For more on my drawing process, see "How I Draw," and also "Anybody Can Draw."

I use Copic markers (I prefer "original" and also have some of the "sketch" type), Copic multiliner pens, and the Copic airbrush (airbrushing with my markers). See "About My Tools and Materials" for my Copic colors and other tools, materials, supplies and sources. Techniques and materials may also be noted in the blog post.

I will post a few times a month, whenever I have a new card to share. For cards before 2012, the date on the post is the approximate date of the card, not always the posting date. Reference posts like "About My Labels" are filed together as 1973, but are much newer.

See "Blog Help" if you have problems with viewing or printing.

Unless otherwise noted in the blog post, this is my original creative work. All of my cards, drawings and text are copyright, and are shared only for your personal, non-commercial use and enjoyment. Copyright © CPOvermyer 2009-2024.
