Hello everyone! Allison from Goody Bag Diva back again - I have a simple card to share with you today and for once I am not embarrassed by one of my cards. I made this for a dear friend and I can't wait for her to get it in the mail!
The details:
I have been dying for Preserves forever and I finally indulged myself in one of the last cricutmachine.com sales. I don't know why I wanted it so badly - this card must have been in my head wanting to get out! Then when I got the K and Company Citrus Bliss paper stack at Joann's I decided it was card destiny! That's a real thing right??
I cut out the grapes with all layers at 4 inches and used papers from my scrap paper stash. I wanted to add some more dimension to all the flat papers so I inked all of the layers before assembling. I was very pleased with how the leaves turned out. A closeup of the bunch:
For my "one of a kind" grape I cut a circle at 0.70 inches from George and Basic Shapes. I used the layers feature on my Gypsy to figure out what would be the right size. Then I stamped with a Peachy Keen face stamp, added a touch of glossy accents to the eyes and pop-dotted it on the front. The card base from DCWV while the purple background paper as well as the sentiment stickers are from the K & Company Citrus stack.
On the inside I think I am going to add "...is the kind of friend you are!" and pop it in the mail with a little treat. I hope you can forgive this simple design and I will try to be fancier next month!
What a "delicious" card! Everything about it is perfect!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful little card. Love that you made a little face in it, and you did a great job of inking.... something I am still trying to do. TFS
ReplyDeleteAllison, this card is so adorable! I think I donated a Preserves cartridge for one of the Weekend Challenges...I'm kind of thinking I should've kept it! I love the way you put this together, design, colors, even the Peachy Keen stamp! ;)!
ReplyDeleteAllison, what an adorable card! I also love the grape with the cute little face!
