Curious Metallic “Thinking of You”

Even though we just got a ton of snow today in Montana, I’m dreaming of the budding flowers and sunshine of spring!  The sparkle in Curious Metallic cardstock inspires me…..

I gathered my supplies:

Next, I cut the elements of my card.  The card base is made from Cryogen White Curious Metallic cardstock.  It’s a beautiful white with a subtle shimmer.  I cut a mat from Curious Metallic Bloom and a piece of patterned paper.  While I was at it, I cut a strip for my sentiment and a wider strip of patterned paper to wrap around my envelope to tie it all together.

I assembled my mat, rounding the corners as I went.  I stamped my sentiment and then cut banner ends into it.  The glue dots adhere so well to the metallic cardstock.  When I attached the banner, I used foam adhesive just to give it a little dimension.

For my envelope wrap, I just adhered it to the envelope with Mini Glue Dots.
