Hello Yellow

Happy Tuesday!  Today I have a fun little card using two of the newest Verve sets, Happy Hello and Great Friend.  For my pretty clean & simple layout, I was inspired to use a column of circles like Amy Sheffer did on her gorgeous card



The papers are printed from the ABC's & 123's digi papers by Sugarplum Paperie and embossed with the notebook Tim Holtz Texture Fade folder.  For the circle strip I simply stamped the circle frame from Happy Hello five times, adding a hello sentiment in alternating colors, then punched out with a 1.25" circle punch and taped together in a strip, cutting either end off after adhering it to my papers.

The flowers from Great Friend are stamped on pearlized cream paper in cherry cobbler, then cut out and layered adding some loops of green ribbon for leaves.  For the flower center I used 2mm, 3mm and 4mm chocolate pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty.  Check it out in the closeup - I really like the mixture of sizes!  The card felt a little off balance, so I pulled out my new Labels 14 Nestabilities and cut just a portion of the shape for a little bracket/border thingy.  I finished off with one rounded corner and a cherry cobbler mat on an ivory card base.

Okay, that's all from me today!  Lots to do to catch up from the long weekend!  Hope you have a splendid day!  Thanks for stopping by!

I am going to become a serial stoker of Mr. Brown shortly if my order doesn't arrive soon, especially after seeing this gorgeous flower yet again -- aaaaaackkkkk!!!

Okay, meltdown is over (for now), on to the card :) Love how you layered your flower and that little side tab on the left is a great touch. Fabulously done as always :)
