Today is Your Day!

Hi crafty friends - I'm back with a card for Craft Roulette Episode #316 with host Mary Gunn and guest Jessica Vasher (‪@Jessicavasher‬).

Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts Ivory A2 card;

scraps

Stamps - Hero Arts Big Words &

Borders+Arrows (both retired)

Dies - Scrapbook.com Treasured Garden 

& Happy Mail

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - Spellbinders ephemera sentiment;

Hero Arts enamel dots & ink; 

foam tape; white and gold gel pens

As usual, the roulette wheel was spun four times for the parameters to use on our project.

• Project - Diagonal cut: I stamped a border on a diagonal and fussy cut it. 
• Colors - Calm: I used blue, sage green, & lavender.
• Element - Post(Er)(S): I had a mailbox with post, plus a post card to be posted.
• Random - Hexagon: I used a stamp with a row of hexagons. 

I started by Googling calm colors and found the palette of soft blue, soft sage green and pale lavender. Ivory or cream was also mentioned for a neutral so I picked an ivory A2 card and scraps of the other colors. I stamped a row of hexagons at a diagonal on a pale blue panel and fussy cut the right edge. Then I die cut it with a stitched rectangle and added it to the A2 card.

Next, I die cut the mailbox parts and assembled. Stamped and fussy cut the little postcard. Die cut and assembled 3 butterflies. The postcard has a stamped butterfly but I added a die cut one over top. Added everything to the card. Found an ephemera sentiment strip from an old Spellbinders kit. Added it to the card along with some enamel dots for the butterfly heads. The mailbox is embossed but it's hard to see the pattern. Enhanced it with a gold gel pen and added some white gel pen details.

The mailbox die set was newly used today. It was part of SBC Fest but I still haven't done the class that used that set - oops! Since new, I'll add my card to Darnell's April NBUS Challenge #85.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty weekend!
