As many of you know, I'm a teacher, and during the school year, I often give my co-workers cards & treats. So, I created a set of 3x3 cards to have on hand.
I used the same basic design, just changing colors and sentiments to mix it up a bit. I think I may also do an even simpler 3x3 with just a Prima and a sentiment.
I'll pair each card with a fun size candy bar or other small treat for a quick pick me up or thank you.
Stamps: Essential Sentiments (MFT)
Paper: Basic Gray, PTI white, SU dp (pink & blue), unknown dp (yellow)
Ink: Basic Gray
Accessories: Martha Stewart classic butterfly punches, ribbon (SU), pearls (Michaels)
I so seriously love these! I have been playing with gray with yellows, pinks, etc lately as well. What a great starting point!
ReplyDeleteAnn~these came out so cute!! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet! Love the colors you used, especially the last one with that grey & pink!
ReplyDeleteAnn these are adorable! I bet they're even cuter IRL if they're 3x3! Love that grey contrasting with the colours! The butterflies rock too!

these are simple, yet gorgeous.. left something for you on my blog
ReplyDeleteI have used a similar sketch to this a few times. I love how it showcases whatever iamge and sentiment you use right there in the middle with lots of "white" to make it CAS. I will definitely be participating in the challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteI think your set of cards is adorable and I can see with just a simple sentiment and a butterfly punch how this could be easy to put together too. How thoughtful of you to have cards ready to hand out to those who need a little pick me up.
I love your butterfly cards!!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!!
