The elements of this week's Nacho Average Sketch #89 really take me back - I used to be SUCH a floral silhouette junkie! I still have a hard time staying away from them, as you can see from today's card!
I'm keeping this one SUPER simple - a single tone-on-tone layer, no ribbons, no embellies, just color and sentiment. That's all you need! The weird thing is, I've never made such a stripped down card before - I'm so struck by the elegance! It's really hard for me not to start throwing on pearls or something, lol... I did sneak in a tiny bit of "blending" with the markers: I colored the blooms first in Calypso Coral, stamped off once, then colored again without cleaning the stamp, in Pool Party. I added the Pear Pizzazz then as well. I'm liking the effect.

Pop Up Card Class May 19 & 31!
Are you sad you missed our Pop-Up Card Class on Thursday? There's still time to fit it in - there's two more chances! We'll be making 4 cards, that all fold flat and fit in standard envelopes, but pop up and out to yummy goodness on the inside! We'll be doing "portrait" and "landscape" cards both, for a little variety, and one card (this one!) will be all about our new In Colors, so you'll have some samples right away, to go with your amazing new catalog that will be waiting here for you! I can't wait for you to try these cards - you'll be stunned at how fun they are to deck out! I'll keep posting the other samples - keep checking back!
Class is still on for Monday, May 19, 10 am and Saturday, May 31, 10 am (please note time change!), chez Heroldt, with snacks and drinks as usual, of course, still for $20! RSVP today to make sure I have your supplies cut and waiting for you!
