Card for Day 3 of Clean and Simple Online Class

Fellow Close To My Heart consultant Lisa Stenz shared with us this online cardmaking class and I decided to sign up for it. Information about the class can be found here. Yesterday's class (Day 3)featured Tone on Tone Dimensional Cards and I just had to try it! Jennifer McQuire recommended using 6 layers of the same diecut shape underneath the card color to make the images pop. I used chipboard instead to reduce the time and number of cuts. The paper color is CTMH Spring Iris. The diecut dragonfly shape is from CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge and was cut at 1.5". The greeting is from D1476 "Card Chatter--Sympathy" and is white embossed.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave a comment if you have time.

H2H New Year Challenge--Use an Unused Stamp

Congratulations to all those chosen to be designers at H2H! Thank you for your talents and commitment of time and energy to inspire the rest of us! This week's challenge is to use a stamp that you've never used before. The specifics can be found here. The stamp set I've chosen to feature is D1444 A Little Thanks--there are many of these stamps that I've not yet used so I was up for the challenge. (This stamp set is also being carried forward in the new Idea Book which is out on February 1.) I've used the small bouquet as a bottom border and the greeting as a focal point. I also used Rectangle 8 from the Art Philosophy cartridge to enhance the greeting. The colors are White Daisy, Cranberry and Pacifica. The edges of the white rectangle and pacifica rectangle were distressed with cranberry ink. Here is the card:
