Mint and Neutral!! Oh, what fun! I love the colour mint, every shade of it, so this was an easy and fun challenge for me!
I went for a very clean and simple look and choose Ivory as my neutral colour. I created a dimensional background by cutting the gorgeous Casual Trees Fri-Dies multiple times out of ivory cardstock and adhering them directly to a 4 bar ivory card base (3.5 X 5 inch). This gives a very elegant look.
I die cut the Friend Fri-Dies from white cardstock and used Catherine Pooler inks in the colours, Mint To Be and Seafoam. These inks are awesome and I highly recommend trying them!! I added Versamark Ink over the die cut and heat embossed it in clear. I did this twice to give a nice, raised, shiny look!
I adhered the word die onto a scalloped oval die from MFT to make it pop a little from the background. The tiny hearts come from the Fun-fetti Fri-Dies and were treated the same as the friend die.
I usually leave the inside of my cards blank. Especially if it's a generic friendship card. You can customize it later for any occasion!!
