Market Street Cards

Hey there, everyone!  Lea here today with a couple of cards that are full of layers.  I've used the Market Street "Ashbury Heights" collection for these cards, which is one of my very favorite collections as of late.  I just love the color combo, and addition of gold to it.

 

Supplies: Market Street "Ashbury Heights": 6x6 paper pad, chipboard buttons, decorative brads, label stickers, flair pins, mixed bag; Necessities "Teal": washi tape.

 

Other than the colors & products matching, these cards don't really have a sentiment in common.  One is more of a day to day, encouraging sentiment....and the other is more love/friendship themed.  They would be perfect to add into a card set!!

One of my favorite ways to create cards is to gather up some favorite sketches from past challenges, and then pull out all of the different items from the collection(s) I want to use.  Then I just start pulling papers & products, and layer them to the card base as I see fit.  My Mind's Eye makes it so easy to for me to create cards this way by offering so many amazing embellishments & accents for each collection!

I also wanted to share how I use "daily life" product on my cards quite often as well!  As card makers, they might not be the first thing you would grab for...but I don't like to waste anything in my supplies.  Daily Life product can also add such a fun & more personal touch to your cards, and isn't that exactly what giving handmade cards is all about?

Thanks for checking out my cards today...I hope you've enjoyed my post!!  Have a wonderful rest of your day!
