Cheery Hello

This is the reason we never throw away even the smallest scraps. You can make really cute cards with even 1 1/2 inch squares.  

 The patter papers are from SU. I backed them with a black mat. I started with a plain white background but that was kind of boring so I used a large circle E/F from Cuttlebug. I think it coordinates well with the circle print. The card base is Lemon Lime from SU.

I don't know who makes the hello die cut. I have had it a long time and don't have the original packaging. I took a bunch of my word sentiment dies and put them together on a magnetic sheet. It is easier to find the one I want without sorting through a bunch of different packages. I used one layer of blue and one layer of black. I tried it at the bottom of the card and it just seemed unbalanced so I glued it across the squares. I repeated the blue and circles with 3 blue gems along the stripped pattern. 

I've used the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday moving the sentiment up to the center

Also linking to Can You Handle the Pressure with embossing and embellishments.

I am adding this card to me stash for Send A Smile 4 Kids I think these bright colors and designs will cheer up a sick child.
