All things grow with love . . .


   


My pair of slimline (3 1/2" x 8 1/2") cards use two digital images and a sentiment from Beccy's Place.  I opened the "Little Aloe" and "Little Pot" images and "With love" sentiment from the "A Little Something" and assembled them together to complete the design.  I printed the image panels on X-Press It Blending Card, coloured with Copic markers, trimmed to size, matted on textured cardstock, trimmed using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered on to 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" panels, then adhered the panels to top folding slimline card bases.  I made the card bases from 300gsm smooth cardstock.



... you may have already guessed, but I have to confess,
I love this sentiment and image combo ...

  1. Gorgeous little cards Tracy, I love the CAS style. You've done a brilliant job colouring the aloe and pot, and your choice of cardstock for the narrow frame is spot on! Love them.
    Cheers,
    Beccy
