Butterfly - Light Orange and Cream with Green

I like the mix of colors in the patterned paper, butterfly layers, and sentiment banner.  

Card details:

  • Card stock is Paper Source papaya (medium orange) and Papertrey Ink (PTI) terra cotta tile (deep rusty red), prairie grass (green), and vintage cream. 
  • Patterned paper is melon berry (light orange) "petite scale" from PTI green tea leaves 8x8" pad (retiring). 
  • Dies are from PTI life is beautiful (retired - butterfly) and number the stars banner (retired).  The two layers of the butterfly are both the same size, but I offset them a bit when I adhered them.
  • The sentiment "with deepest sympathy" is from PTI spring woods, stamped with PTI prairie grass ink.
I also made some with "just a note" sentiment for Operation: Quiet Comfort.

Turquoise and Blue Stars

Lots of bold contrast and a simple graphic style.  I like the turquoise and dark blue layered stars and "hello" word with the orangey-brown and white striped background. 

Note: the gray border is background, not part of the card.

Card details:

  • Card stock is Papertrey Ink (PTI) Hawaiian shores (turquoise) and enchanted evening (dark blue). 
  • Patterned paper is from PTI canyon clay (orangey brown) bitty big pattern pack.
  • Dies are from My Favorite Things stacking stars (retired) and PTI wonderful words: hello (retired)
Created for Operation: Quiet Comfort.

Pink Flowers with Burgundy

A pretty floral card, tone-on-tone pink and burgundy with light green accents.  In real life, the colors are a bit lighter and less grayed.

Card details:

  • Card stock is Papertrey Ink (PTI) lavender moon (light pink-purple - card base), sweet blush (pale pink - flowers), and spring moss (light green). 
  • Patterned paper is a scarlet jewel (burgundy) print from PTI in bloom (retired) 8x8" paper pad.
  • Dies are from PTI in bloom.
  • The sentiment "thinking of you" is from Hero Arts everyday sayings (retired), and the flowers and leaves are from PTI in bloom (retired), all stamped with PTI autumn rose (medium pink) ink.
