I needed two more cards for my seniors for this month and decided to use the current card sketch as my inspiration.
Some of the seniors just provide an address but some mention favorite colors and themes they like. Two ladies on my list both had purple as a favorite color, and one loves butterflies and the other, dragonflies.
I went through my scraps and dug out cardstock and pattern paper in a variety of shades of purple. I covered the two card fronts with light purple cardstock and added strips of darker purple patterned paper. I cut an inch wide strip for each card from a piece of SU Fancy Flora paper and attached across the card about two thirds of the way down the front. I cut a 2x3 rectangle from the same sheet of paper for each card, and layered each onto some darker cardstock for contrast. I attached these to the card fronts and stamped the sentiment in Perfect Plum ink.
Dollar Tree has been putting out these cute little wood shapes for crafts, and Iâve been collecting them. I was pretty sure I had a butterfly and dragon fly in the mix and I found them. I squished them on my Versamark ink pad and covered with the purple glitter EP and embossed. Then I glued the shapes to the cards. Hope my ladies like their custom cards!
