It's hip to be Square!

Here's a cute 6" square card using Hayden of the Gum Drop Gang from Plate #8. The quote reads "All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today -Indian Proverb" Oh how true that is. Wherever we go we are planting seeds everywhere to produce flowers for tomorrow. I love to think that the cards I make plant seeds (ideas, thoughts, love) in people that flourish later.

This card started with a nice square card that was off white in color. I stamped the Hayden image using a VersaFine ink pad and allowed it to dry. I used Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils and a blender pen to add the coloring. I mounted the image on a nice yellow cardstock and rounded the corners.

I stamped the saying on white cardstock and colored the edges with my ColorBox Chalk ink pad. I stapled ribbons to the edges and trimmed them to matching lengths. I then mounted the image and the saying to the card with 1/8" pop dots. I used the same ColorBox Chalk pad to color the edges of the card and finished it off by adding colored skittles (clear acrylic pebbles) to the card with glue dots.
