If you want to make a super easy card like this Meandering Meadows Love Card, all you need is some beautiful designer series paper and a greeting! And this Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper meets that description.
This card base is Melon Mambo cardstock with an extra layer cut at 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ of Petal Pink cardstock. I have always loved the color Melon Mambo, almost as much as I love Real Red. I used the extra Petal Pink layer to bring out the color of the pink flowers on the paper.
This Meandering Meadows paper has impressionistic scenes of beautiful meadows with brightly colored flowers and gorgeous clouds in the sky. Each page could be a framed watercolored piece of art. When I used this paper on this card I didn’t want to trim it down very much and lose any more of the colorful scene than I had to.
The greeting is in the Citrus Blooms Stamp Set. I wanted something that wasn’t going to cover up much of the designer paper. The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink and the banner shapes is sponged just a little around the edges with Melon Mambo ink.
For a little embellishment, I adhered a few Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds . These little brass winged creatures are perfect to use on a card like this out in nature! You could easily make a stack of these cards using this Meandering Meadows Designer Paper because every sheet of the paper makes a beautiful card. You can add a specific greeting later for just the right occasion.
