We have a very pretty color combination with a challenging dessert option for this week's color challenge. Heather Highland + Gorgeous Grape + Mint Macaron with winter for dessert. Well, I'm sitting here in Minnesota with lots of winter all around me yet now really in the mood to be creative with winter. Winter does, however, mean flu season and I guess that stats are telling us it is widespread in our state right now. So I made a get well card featuring a cup of warm tea. And that cup has a violet on it and the violet is the flower for February and February is in the winter... I hope I'm not cheating!
- This is my second So Sentimental card and I've layered the fun greeting shapes on vellum for both of them.
- I had a bit of problem solving to do when I wanted to use both the Sending Healing Hugs greeting and the tea cup. They are both similar in size and if I used one of my typical simple, with lots of white space designs I was going to have 2 images of about the same size competing to be my focal point.
- So I had to find a way to connect them into one image. I pulled out one of the scalloped rectangle dies that comes with the So Sentimental bundle and this worked perfectly to pull the image and greeting into one focal point.
- I'd planned to use some Mint Macaron gingham paper but it was really too busy so I switched it up a bit using this script pattern and I'll continue hoarding my gingham for another project.
