You’re One of A Kind
Hi there! Happy Sunday readers! I’m not sure about you, but the view from where I sit is quite gray at the moment. I mean this literally as it is winter in the mid-west. During this time of year I especially gravitate to bright colors, and it’s almost as if our guest designer Pamela Ho read my mind, because she delivered this punch of color in such a sweet designed card!
Enjoy!
I was going for a “super star” type of card and thought it would be fun to use the star from the cardbooking dies to create some negative space. Using the blender, I blended the red, orange and yellow together so that the colors would show up from the negative spaces. I added some enamel dots to finish off the card.
The envelope was created with the Simon Says small envelope. I masked the front using the speech bubble die and blended the ink to match the colors from the card.

Such a great card- so vibrant. Wasn’t sure about the cardbooking die set, but seeing it in use, I’m really liking it.
Beautiful blending of colors. I love the warm, happy colors. CA has way too much sun compared to what it should this time of year. We are having a drought! I am torn between loving the sunny, fair weather and being worried about the drought.
