I have co-worker, actually she's my boss, that is really going through a hard time. I thought these cards would cheer her up during her time off work. I used some bright and cheery pattern paper from the MME Lime Twist collection: Happy Go Lucky. I just LOVE these little 6x6 paper pads. These papers are double sided and are so pretty for paper piecing!
This first card uses the little lamp from the How Delightful set. My lamp base was off stamped (first in True Black) and so it gave it that speckled look. I did highlight a few of the parts of the lamp with my black Copic for detail.
My second card uses the bird from Fly Free. I paper pieced and added in some hills cut free hand with more yummy pattern paper. I just love how all the patterns coordinate!
Now for both of my cards, the size is 3 x 5 1/2.........I thought I would try something different with the size but still be A2 size for the envie. I also used my Signo white pen to add some faux stitching. I thought it kinda went with the whole whimsy touch of these cards. That's all for today!
