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.

  1. Such a great card- so vibrant. Wasn’t sure about the cardbooking die set, but seeing it in use, I’m really liking it.

  2. 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.

  3. The colors you used are just great, I’d love to see a tutorial on how to blend the colors like that. Thanks for sharing your talent with us…

  4. Great card – love the use of the negative and the color coordinated envelope really sets it off !!! Thanks for sharing !!!

  5. Awesome card and envelope too! I love the dramatic colors and the space left from the die cut. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

  6. In Australia we have been having a heat wave, so these colours remind me of the summer sun. Love the negative space.

  7. Love this card and envelope! The blending is awesome, bright and cheery. It is another gray day in Maine as well – the card made me smile!

  8. That’s a VERY cool card…being in the Midwest myself, I can sure appreciate and welcome the bright colors!
