I haven't decorated these cards at all - I really like the clean, smooth lines and the words that pop out and almost shyly show you some of the card colour underneath.
These are known as Eclipse cards - so easy to do
This first card is using the same paper as yesterday - this is sweet and simple. You could use it for an anniversary or birthday or Valentines, or just because.
Now, this paper hasn't photographed as well as I had hoped it would. The colours are *amazing*. There's Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Powder Pink, Calypso Coral all mixed up in there, and it is the coolest mix of shades and looks like it's been brushed on the page. I'm not a pink person (at all), but I really like this paper.
You don't need much to make this card - I've used a standard size piece of Melon Mambo card stock, and cut a piece of Painted with Love Designer Series Paper 5mm shorter and less wide than the card size.
I then used the Large Letters framelits - honestly, these have so many uses. I know they're really expensive, but they are an investment. From cards like this, to a named card, to a piece of art you put in a frame, they are just so useful. I put off buying these for ages because of the cost, and now I wish I had them months ago!
Once the letters have been cut out, adhere the piece of paper to the card base, then use dimensionals to pop the letters up. Depending on what angle you hold the card on, you can see the colour of the card under the paper.
Really simple, but lovely!
