For a formal touch to summer cards, the soft color of Crush Almond is a great background for a quick die cut. Score a full sheet of Almond in the middle and fold. Almond is named after it’s contribution to the paper making process: organic almond byproducts are used along with 30% post consumer recycled waste to create this visibly different and appealing line of papers. It looks as good its namesake tastes, both soft and crunchy. Along with making you hungry, this paper will reduce the carbon footprint by 20%.
Cut the Flourish in FAV Shimmer, Pure Gold; it is a stunning contrast to the Almond. It is Flourish Emblem, by Anna Griffith. FAV Shimmer is a beautiful metallic shimmer which is an deep gold mixture of pigments and iridescent particles. It is a luxurious gold design with a center of Curious Skin Purple. Curious Skin a personal favorite; rich colors in a matte finish that cuts beautifully and has a incredible depth of color. Cut the emblem again in Purple and use it on another card, the center piece being a byproduct of the cut. Shine Lilac is a contrasting glittery finish that comes from natural minerals and organic pigments. The contrast of a shine and matte is a great combination. It is 3″ x 5.5″, softly glittering behind the strong Pure Gold, adding a dimension that needs little decoration.
Tie a bow, add a purple crystal, and you have a fast card to send out to family and friends, for invitations, a quick hello, or just keeping in touch. The A9 envelope is Superfine Eggshell in Softwhite, with a gold foil lining that suits the Pure Gold and sets off the Almond. Who knew such a charming card could be so fast. Enjoy.
