There are so many things to love about this year’s Sale-a-Bration offerings – exclusive products you can select for free with every $50 or $100 you spend before February 28. One of the most popular products with my customers has been the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper that can be selection for free with a $50 order. I knew these papers were lovely from the start, but I’ve only recently fallen head-over-heals for it. Here’s a card I made with two pages from this gorgeous pack of papers:
Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper:
How sweet is the bird, perched on a branch of beautiful flowers?! I snipped it from the first page on the bottom row of the photo above. If you don’t like snipping (it can be tedious and difficult), please know that the watercolored images in this pack of papers are really easy to snip – the painted outlines are forgiving and easy to snip. I punched a Fresh Freesia panel (fourth page on the top row above) with my 2-3/8″ Circle Punch and glue the bird to the circle. Here’s a closer look:
While I was making this card, I was also playing with some papers from the Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper – GORGEOUS landscape designs that are available in the Online Exclusives. The back to one of the meandering landscapes features a textured page of soft purples and pinks – and it worked perfectly with my design. I snipped six 1/2″ panels of the paper and positioned them on a base of the Fresh Freesia watercolored background from the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper. Here’s a closer look:
And here’s a look at the gorgeous designs in the Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (you can click on the image below to flip through all these pages in my online store):
To offset all the soft, sweet colors in the papers, I framed the focal panel with Misty Moonlight (and two layers of Basic White) and mounted them on a Basic Gray base. If you love this mix of purple, blue and gray as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
