Here's a card that has been sent & received (and I hope liked!) so I'm sharing today.
Gina Marie hexagon dies and background overlay
Crafters Companion sentiment die
Image colored with copics, WoS and some Pentel pens.
The sentiment is one that was purchased on a good sale at our local Tuesday Morning store. (This is a store that gets merchandise that probably didn't sell well at other stores . I'm not sure about this fact, but the prices are supposedly discounted. Got this one on the same visit as the sentiment on this card... which did not cut easily. ) Pleased to say this one cut quite nicely, and the problem one did better on a later card, where the nice metal shim was used. This sentiment has 3 white snippet layers(colored with yellows) built up, and the idea was to have the sentiment color compliment the colors used for the sunflowers.
Ya'll have a wonderful afternoon. Thanks for looking in, and big hugs!
Love the new seasonal header Mary, it's really gorgeous!! As is your lovely card, there is something so cheery about daisies and I love how you have matched the die cut sentiment perfectly to those blooms xx
ReplyDeleteThe sentiment colour sure does compliment the colours on your fabulous flowers. Such a pretty card and love the hexagon shape framing the vase x.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours combo for your card, and the yellow sentiment makes the image pop! Fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteHate bill paying but ours are all paid by direct debit so as long as bank account fine all okay :)

ReplyDeleteHow could anyone fail to like this gorgeous bright blue card Mary, and that background overlay is just great with the beautifully coloured flowers, and the layered yellow sentiment does complememt the flowers beautifully. x

Wow! This is a beautiful and stunning card Momma Mary! I am so loving the color combo, that cup of flowers is just beautiful and colored up so beautiful too. I love that you put it on an octagon shape as well, I never think to use this shape for a mat, but I am totally loving it! I also love that pinwheel die shape for the background. Love that your sentiment and the other one cut well for you (especially the other one now), I love how you made it yellow to match the flowers-it really pops and draws the eye to the flowers. A beautiful font as well. We used to have a Tuesday Morning but it shut down and left down. Guess it didn't do good here. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteOops, I mean hexi's and not octagon! Duh to me! lol Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteA great image and so beautifully coloured Mary....we have a dull dry day here today with a fresh wind...at least my washing is drying in the breeze......xxxx
ReplyDeleteI wish you could see this card in person. I am the lucky recipient of this and the coloring is awesome and bright. Thank you, Mary. I love that font of the sentiment and now I have go to Tuesday Morning and see if my store has that. They are a treasure trove of crafting things.
ReplyDeleteThis is a WOW! card Mary, love the die cut background and the hexagon with the beautifully coloured image. I really like the sentiment in the yellow, such a great colour combo.

ReplyDeleteMaybe I should dust off my hexagon dies, they haven’t been used in ages. I like how this shape fits in on your card as well as the contrast of the yellow and the aqua colors.
