Loads of Gratitude!

Welcome class!

Today's cards are inspired by an artist I follow on IG (Kate Rhees).  She has the most amazing graphic art pieces and I was taken with the one shared here and needed to make some cards based on it!

So here's the lesson plan:

1.  Pick your colors.  I went all over the board with this one and used cardstock from Concord and 9th, Taylored Expressions, and The Stamp Market to come as close to matching the palette of the piece as possible.

2.  Die cut the things!  A LOT of the things!  I used the Concord and 9th Patterns and Posies die set from one of their summer camps a while back that I grabbed off a resale page.  It's a perfect match for this card!

3.  Assemble the things.  I loved making these cards as they were fun to glue together and arrange on the Kraft cardstock, which I used as a neutral background.

4.  To avoid hiding the die cutting, I just used a small sentiment from Concord and 9th's Short and Sweet die set that I grabbed on their recent sale. Ta-da!  Two more thank you cards for the stash!

EXTRA CREDIT!

I had extra flowers that I cut that couldn't go to waste, so I die cut some stems and slapped this bonus card together.  I'm loving the colors in the inspiration piece, but I'd love to do this with vibrant ones for another look!
