Hey there, MME friends! Lea here today with a couple of cards featuring neutrals & metallics!! As much as I love color, I am a huge fan of neutrals as well! So today I've combined some of last year's My Mind's Eye collections to create this matching set!
Supplies: "Necessities" - Metallics "Dot" foiled vellum, Black & Grey "Confetti" foiled vellum; "Market Street" - Ashbury Heights decorative tape, Nob Hill decorative tape; "Now & Then" - Izzy decorative tape; "Jubilee" - Mint Julep transparent frames, Mint Julep enamel dots, Tangerine transparent frames, Wild Berry enamel dots; "Record It!" - Charmed enamel dots; Other - cardstock, watercolor, paper clips.
I picked two of the printed transparent frames to work as my sentiments! I've gone with encouragement themed sentiments for both of my cards today, but they could also be used for birthdays. I'm a big fan of creating cards with interesting sentiments, and you can find lots of them packed in all of the amazing MME goodies!
To create my first card, I adhered two strips of washi tape to the left side of a kraft card base and then flicked black watercolor paint droplets to it. Once dry, I adhered a block of foil pressed vellum & the transparent frame angled to the card front. Then I accented it with enamel dots, and embellished it with a silver paper clip.
The second card uses the exact same design process as above, except on a landscape card base. On the first card I focused on using more gold, but this card features both silver & gold together! Each card came together quite quickly (even with the paint drying time), and they are ready to mail out to special friends & family! They will easily slide into envelopes, and shouldn't need additional postage!
Mixing neutrals & metallics made these cards seem really elegant, even with the artsy feel & painted script fonts used. I hope you will pull some out from our My Mind's Eye stash of product & try it with me!
Have an awesome rest of your day!
