A 'Cloud 9' Congratulations Card
Our Designer Angela Dodson has used the Sea Blue 120gsm offer card to make this summer card. The Sea Blue is such a bright and cheerful shade, perfect to use for a happy themed bright card.
Project Details:
"Card base is Papermilldirect Plain White card, scored, folded, and trimmed to create a 5.5” x 5.5” card blank. I used the ‘Sea Blue’ as the main colour for this card; it was perfect to represent a bright blue sky. PMD White Hammered card was used to give a hint of fluffiness to the clouds. Keeping with the bright colour scheme I chose PMD Raspberry Pink and Apple Green to create the Kite, attaching with 3D foam pads to give height.
The Sea Blue was also great to cut in my Cricut Explore, you can see how cleanly it cut the wording. I was also impressed that the wording did not mark, wrinkle or show the glue through at all, which makes it very versatile for those wanting to cut and glue smaller pieces that are too intricate for tape.
I added a little Stickles to the lower edges of the clouds and small sparkly blue gems to finish.
Cloud Nine, clouds and kite cut on the Cricut Explore using files from with the Cricut Subscription which I resized to suit my project."
