Spring is in the air! Graciellie Designs Digi Delights!

Hello there inky friends!  Today I'm sharing a springy card featuring a few of my favorite digital designs by Graciellie Designs.  I decided to bring a little spring cheer into my crafty room!  This card features a sentiment from the Your Kindness digital set and the printed paper  design from the Flutter Away Digi Paper Pack.

Your Kindness Digi Set $3.92

Flutter Away Digi Paper Pack $6.50

To create my design, I applied a circle to a MS Word document, set the sentiment over the circle by resizing and layering and then grabbed the digital paper design (shrinking the design) and laid it onto the paper.  Once printed, I was able to cut out the sentiment circle and diecut an oldie but goodie QuickCutz flower from the printed paper.  I used a pre-made kraft diecut from my stash as a backer for my little collage.  

I felt the card was a bit bare so before laying down the flowers and sentiment panel, I added some drybrushing of ivory acrylic paint and some white splatters.  After punching some holes with my Crop-a-Dile, I was able to attach some natural and color coordinated twine to the sentiment panel and the background kraft panel. 

To finish off the card, I attached some faceted bling and mounted my panel onto dark teal cardstock and then onto a white card base (with a topfold).  

Finished and ready to send to a special someone!  

Thanks for popping by today!  I hope you were inspired by this springy creation!  See you soon!

Graciellie's Your Kindness...

Hello there inky friends! I spent some time this weekend coloring...I just love coloring and there's something so calming and relaxing about coloring digital images by Graciellie Designs.  I printed this gorgeous floral spray from the new Your Kindness digi set on my home printer, fussy cut the image and then got to work coloring.  I selected a nice mix of pinks and oranges to help bring this image to life.  

After coloring the image, I added some sparkle here and there and added a golden bauble in the center.  I set it aside and started working on a background panel.  I decided I wanted a kraft panel but as I paired it with some plain cardstock, I was just not feeling the BLAH.  Soooo... I used the same colors used in the image and just colored randomly around the outside edge of a white panel.  

After finishing that, I mounted a stitched krafty panel onto this background layer.  This really helped bring the card together.  Next, I attached the sentiment panel (I printed it on an oval in MS word) using some pretty and soft ribbon.  Finally, I mounted the image onto this sentiment panel and placed the whole decorated panel onto a krafty card base.  

So gorgeous.  I love these colors together.  Now I need to spend some time thinking about who to send this card to.  I think it's a new fave! 

Love, love, love the mix of fonts in this set!  :)
