August Hello

 

I made this for a NZ cardswap - the theme was stuff relating to the month of August.  I chose the green faceted embossed metallic panel to represent Peridot, dark red to represent Spinel, (both August gemstones) and the stars to represent the Perseids meteor showers (with sparkles) that occur during August.  I used the flowers because it's nearly spring here in NZ.  A drop of Glossy Accents on flowers for dew drops.  The Hello senti was sent to me by Jude.

A Sunny Hello

 

An extra sunny hello to you!

I used a sunny patterned paper that had shiny parts to peek through the suns rays.  The diecut panel (unknown) is ink blended, stamped with a typed background with friendship words (unknown).  A stacked sentiment die and gold Nuvo Drops.

Hello Orange

 

Very Orange. Quite CAS.  Not a colour I would choose to work with normally, but I found the background (from a calendar long ago), and the orange card with the hole already cut (Spellbinders), in my Bitz Box.  With the smooshed stacked bold sentiment (also from the bitz box) it all came together nicely.  I do like it when the Bitz Box provides the goodies.  Fake splatter with a metallic gold pen.
