Splatter: November 2012

Monday, November 26, 2012

I love the idea of Peace cards.

I think I get it from my mom.

I really like how this card turned out.

I got a chance to use supplies from both a quaint little shop in Madison, and Studio Calico.

Another Christmas card for you.

This one needed more color,

and it's not my favorite.

But still it has promise.

So I might save it for another day.

I might just wait for inspiration.

Or I might just send it.

Cards sometimes grow on a person.

This one could.

I know.

It's only November!

But if I don't do Christmas now,

it just wouldn't happen.

I love the pattern and I've been toying with it since I got it.

I just never knew how to show it off without it being the only thing.

After this card, however, I think I can safely say I pulled it off.

I found a color pallet inspiration online,

fell in love and decided to try making it into a card.

In my head

(and now out loud)

I refer to this one as the "flapper" card

The black is actually sparkly black velvet I salvaged off of a graduation card ages ago.

That black paired with the red poppy and deep green

makes me feel like I'm in a speak-easy someplace with some sort of gin drink.

What a great way to celebrate something!
