It has been dreary the last week or so and it is probably safe to say that summer has seen it's last day here in Calgary. But there is one thing that I absolutely love to craft with on a gloomy day - anything Doodlebug! The colours are always enough to turn around any gloomy day. Beyond that, if I can find some Doodlebug florals in my stash, I am even happier! So today called for some Summer Fun, and the beautiful florals you can find in the coordinating Bits & Pieces pack.
This set of cards is on the clean and simple side because I really wanted those florals to look like arrangements that were floating on top of the cards. I grabbed a variety of sizes and colours for each card and then just slightly layered them to see what shapes I could create. On a couple of the cards I did layer the die cuts on a small 3x3 pieces of the Water Babies 12x12 patterned cardstock but on the other one, I just used a patterned tag from the Bits & Pieces pack.
Because of the layout of this card, I needed a little extra texture on one side so I also added a pretty little Mini Paper Doily in Mint. Some foam adhesive on a few of the flowers gives the illusion of more layers and dimension on the card.
Because the card design are simple, the little details really matter. A few Mini Paper Clips and some mini jewels created just a little bit more eye candy on these designs. Oh, and to finish each one off, I grabbed one of the amazing Puffy Word sentiments from the Summer Fun pack for a little message on each.
No room can stay gloomy when you are working with these pretty products. As we head into winter, don't forget to pull this collection out any time you might need a little pick-me-up! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
