Techniques:
This inlay cover die is definitely a style I like. Geometrics and mid-century modern styles always get my interest. Using just the frame of it over a solid background is one of the easiest ways to use it. For this card, I layered it on top of a solid panel in the same color of cardstock. I wanted the interest from the texture and the shadow, but I wanted it to say low-contrast so the flowers and greeting could be the focal point.
The starburst detail pieces on these flowers also feel a bit mid-century to me, so the pairing of the two dies has a style continuity.
I chose two bright colors and white for the flowers, so they’d be bright and have good contrast against the background. The energy of the colors I chose fits the playful style of the flowers.
This Thank You greeting has some flared curves that repeat some of the curves in the background. Keeping an eye out for those things with repetition or continuity help keep a design cohesive.
Adding foam adhesive to the back of some of the flowers continues the dimensional variation created by the background layers, and adds to the interest on the card.
Colors:
cardstock: Concord & 9th Sweet Pea, Starfruit, Lakefront. White.
