Thank you for coming by for day 3 of Persnickety Inspiration. Ursula and Patricia with you today to share some cards. What I have found using the Persnickety is it is both bold and soft depending on what you want to create. The patterns work so well together as you will see in the cards we've created for you today. Here is a card from Ursula.
Ursula shares: I always enjoy creating depth, whether on a card or a layout. Many times, that means layers. Here, I layered several sizes of clouds that I had die cut from various pattern papers within the Persnickety Collection. The blues and greys lend themselves beautifully to the idea of clouds so this collection was the right choice for my design.
To create the feeling of the wind moving the clouds along, I sewed some wavy lines above which both added movement and created a border for the top of my card.
Since the ABC stickers have so many of each letter, you can easily get a whole sentence out of one set of letters. Love that!
For my cards, I wanted to show off the patterns in the collection by using repetition in these first two cards. The first one also uses the doily stamp embossed in white on top of the navy demin paper. I love the bold and striking effect it makes with both a modern and a vintage look. The quilted squares were made with the 12x12 sheets, while the strips of paper in the middle were with the 6x6 tiny tablet. Love the look of the large and the small chevrons and polka dots together.
This is another card using repetition with the butterflies and circles using the 12x12 papers, and adding the "thanks" sentiment and hearts from the stamp collection.
This last card is very feminine and dainty. I used the 6x6 tiny tablet and a journaling index card under the the flower I die cut and added the sticker on top with pop dots.
Hope you are enjoying seeing the lovely patterns and colors from this collection.
absolutely wonderful!
