Even though the layout of the stamped images is roughly the same the feel of these cards is quite different to the zingy, vibrant "Spring" cards I shared earlier in the week. These colours are muted and have a much more earthy feel. The stars of the show are Blackberry Bliss, Mint Macaron, Granny Apple Green and Gray Granite.
When cutting layers for card fronts there are often skinny strips left over. It is tempting to throw them away, but actually they can come in very useful! To balance the front of the card I have matched the colour of the strip to the background layer and the sentiment from the Well Written bundle sits neatly on the top creating a focal point. here is just enough room for a neatly tied Linen Thread bow.
The alternative layout has lots of white space that is filled with an incredible sentiment. Wouldn't it make your day to recieve a card with that statement on? The flowers were masked with a Post It Note before the leaves were stamped so that they appear to be behind the flowers. There is plenty of depth to this card with the realistic stamped images and the illusion of the leaves behind the flowers but in actual fact the card is very flat and perfect for posting via the mail.
I hope you have enjoyed the alternative colourway for these Painted Seasons cards. Simply changing the colour combination of a card dramatically changes the feel of it and, hence, how it can be used.
