I designed this card for the Heartfelt Inkspiration team gathering earlier this month. My inspiration was a birthday card one of my team members sent to me, although she admitted later she couldn’t remember what the card looked like when I asked if she minded if I copied hers. As it turned out, mine was almost nothing like hers!
At the meeting, we had a lively discussion about how (or if) you keep track of the cards you send. I mean, I know people who send hundreds of cards each year — excluding Christmas cards! What is your strategy, if any?
There’s something pleasing about an oval, I think. It’s graceful and sweet, especially with this border of cut-out hearts.
It doesn’t appear so, but the base of this card is Thick Basic White. Behind the embossed and die-cut panel, peeking through the hearts and oval, is a piece of Petal Pink. The flowers (cut using the new ) are also Petal Pink, pounced with a bit of Calypso Coral for contrast.
The patterned paper oval is from the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper pack. The patterns are wonderful, and you will notice that some images on the paper can be cut out with the coordinating Country Bouquet punch. These products, from the Country Floral Lane Suite Collection, will appear in the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, as will the Petal Park Builder punch I used for the flowers. Can you tell I’m excited about this Mini? If you will not be getting a hard copy, visit this blog on January 5 to see a widget (graphic link) to the pdf version.
