Creative Inspirations
I needed to create some thank you cards for a couple guys so I found some time to create. I decided to go with a neutral pallet and pulled a few of my retired items. I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest.
I used the Rustic Home Fundamental for the paper on the right and the word paper if from retired Florence. The bronze glitter paper is retired as are the gems. I found this ribbon in my stash. The feathers are from Artisty.

I then went to my Artbooking Cricut Cartridge to create my background. I used #M3CEA5 Circle stars and using the slice and weld tools combined it with #M42EB0 Rectangle frame.
I made two variations of the card using the color combination. Which do you like better the Canary background or the pacifica background?

Welcome to this weeks Color My Heart Color Challenge! This week for Color Dare #193 we are challenging you to combine CANARY, CHAMPAGNE, JUNIPER, SLATE, WHISPER, and WHITE DAISY.
I love the Georgie paper pack and it is so great for baby theme projects but the colors are fabulous and can be used for many other occasions. My husband asked me for a thank you card the other day and when I want to get him one from my stash, I realized most were very feminine. So here is one I created for him.
I created the white “thanks” cut by slicing the “thanks” and a rectangle. The “thanks” is the Artistry font. If you would like the cut file HERE it is.
