Card for Day 1 of Online Card Class

After making the previously posted Thinking of You card with tone on tone dimension I then used the negative remnant from the dragonflies to make a card from Day 1 by Maille Belles. This card is 6 x 6 to accomodate the dragonfly strip. In her example Maille used markers to color her negative image in stripes (and also suggested stamping) but I prefer the simplicity of the shapes themselves. The strip is raised by 3D Foam Tape. The greeting is from CTMH D1444 "A Little Thanks". The ink is CTMH Spring Iris. I love being able to use diecut negatives and not throwing anything away. (Please excuse the shadow over the right hand side--I was trying to photograph using natural light near a window and I think I got an inadvertent shadow from a tree branch)

Thanks for stopping by!

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.
