More Cards

Here are the last of my cards for now. I mentioned a couple of days ago I was using up some papers from collections that are down to scraps, the first three cards today were part of those efforts. 

For my first card, I had this cute dog and sprinkler paper. I trimmed it down so the dog was in the top right and it left me space for a sentiment in the bottom left. I used my Cricut to cut the splatter and the word "Blast" and to write "Have a." I glued the letters onto the splatter and then adhered it to the page with foam tape for some dimension. I added a dark brown border to the background panel to make it look a little more finished.

This card started with the sticker. I knew I had some of this wave paper, so I cut a chunk to fit my card front. I used a light blue watercolor paper for the sky and layered the two papers together. I added the sticker to the top of the waves. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a scrap of the watercolor patterned paper and ripped the end before adhering it to the card. At this point, I felt like the sky needed a little something, so I added some water to a drop of gesso and splattered it on the background.

For this card, I started with the three popsicle panel. I added the sticker letters on the popsicles. I then found the houndstooth paper to use for the background. The red one on the bottom was actually pink, which was bugging me, so I colored over it with an orange marker to make it match the red in the popsicle. I used a border punch on another scrap of patterned paper for the strip below the popsicle panel. I finished off this card by covering the popsicles with Glossy Accents.

My final card is the card I made for my husband for our anniversary. I found this tree drawing file in Cricut Access and used my Cricut to draw it on water color paper. I then painted in the tree with a waterbrush and inks. I did a very pale wash of light blue on the background. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a piece of vellum and ripped the edges before adhering it to my card.
