Oh, Hello Meets Gorgeous Grunge

How well do you know Peanuts Cartoon characters by Charles M. Schulz?  Do you remember Frieda, with her naturally curly hair?

How about Pig Pen?

Well, my card today is kind of like a marriage of those two characters:  Oh, Hello meets Gorgeous Grunge!

• It's been ages since I used Oh, Hello and it was a real favourite of mine when it first came out last spring.  I love the fonts used in the sentiments and the little flower that reminds me a a crocus.  I really like that chevron-covered oval as well.
• Coastal Cabana and Wisteria Wonder = Match made in heaven!  Love that colour combination!
• I like the combination of the Wisteria Wonder and the Coastal Cabana splotch marks from Gorgeous Grunge!

• I used the Ovals Collection Framelits to die cut the stamped oval and its Wisteria Wonder matte.  The flowers were fussy cut by hand.  Both the chevron oval and one of the flowers were popped up on dimensionals.

Guest Stamper Part Three

Here is the final card that I have to show you this week, designed by Jaimie MacGibbon:

I just love the clean and simple look of this card, with the focal point being the pinwheel design Jaimie has created using one of the Tea for Two series papers and cutting out the 4 of the triangular shapes and popping them up on dimensionals.  It's just so effective!  The two bright matte panels behind the Whisper White are toned by the Crumb Cake neutral and the little bit of Pool Party Baker's Twine adds a perfect finishing touch!  Hard to tell from the photo the ink colour of the sentiment from the Oh, Hello stamp set, but the bold look suits the card so well.

"Thanks so much"  for dropping by again to see some of Jaimie's creations.  I'll be back tomorrow with some photos and stories from our travels!
