Tuesday with Tara {take 53}
Happy Tuesday! I hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend and whatever celebrations you took part of for Canada Day or the 4th of July!
I had a request for thank you card ideas, so when I saw one on Pinterest that inspired me to make this week’s card, I knew I could turn it into a lovely thank you 🙂 The card itself is very simple, featuring one of the gorgeous Sizzix thinlits dies by Tim Holtz over a pretty watercolor background I created with Color Burst. The same background design paper is cut into a strip, which gives a strong visual to the front of the card and draws the eye to the three main elements- the lace pattern, the sentiment and the cat!
The sentiment is from my new fave Avery Elle “Oh Happy Day” set. It’s such a pretty script and a really nice mix of sentiments too 🙂
I tied a small bouquet to the crazy cat’s tail (the cat crazy stamps by Tim Holtz are just as fun as the birds!) to help him/her show appreciation. I picked up some color on my craft sheet to add to the flowers since the original white color blended into my cream card base a bit too much.
Here’s another look at the card, the sun is shining bright so it was tricky getting photos without shadows, but I wanted you to see the pretty colors in the full light!
This would be a simple card to reproduce multiples of (if I was someone who did that!) and play with a variety of colors, sentiments, cat & bird images…
Hope you have a creative day and that your summer is off to an amazing start! Thanks to all of you who left kind words on my last post- I’m glad my ‘something different’ inspired you!
Inky hugs,
Tara
