Claire and I always like to show off in our cards for each other and even simple-looking cards should feature some hidden complexities.
As it's her wedding anniversary I wanted to make her something fun and cheerful. This card features a few fun things, including a new toolset she gave me this summer. She introduced me to Distress Oxides and this card features three colors though the yellow all but disappears with the pink and orange. I then spritzed a stamp with water and laid the card on top to get a bleached chevron. I then used punched hearts (that I think I got when Claire lent me her scalloped heart punch years ago) and then used a die to get the sentiment.
It looks simple but it's cheery and fun and the colors of a Tequila Sunrise - perfect for recognising their honeymoon in Mexico!
This is such a fun card!! I love the bleachy / beachy feel of the whole card. Oxides work so well here. Cheering me up now I am back in the cold... Cx
