I have had three family members recently participate in varying roles in the Musical Production of the Sound of Music at a local High School. Two nieces had major roles and my sister in law who teaches at the school was the director. To say we were blown away by the stellar efforts of all three was an understatement. So of course I wanted to create some cards for them to tell them so and congratulate them on their hard work and achievements with the production.
I just love the vibrant colours coupled with the grungy goodness and gorgeous watercolor bouquets on these cards. I’d like to think they would brighten the day of any recipient who received them.
All three cards are created with the Congratulations Doodled Curved Banner Sentiment Print and Cut Design. If you prefer the banner without a sentiment so you can create a bespoke sentiment or title there is also the Blank Doodled Curved Banner Print and Cut design.
For the backgrounds I have been using a technique in Silhouette Studio of using SVG files as a clipping mask. I have a quick tutorial here on how to do it. Elly Mae of Silhouette Secrets has a more in depth tutorial, and has done a live YouTube video on the technique which you can watch on replay. I use a card base template, for which I have created a freebie to make creating these cards easy! Check out this article for the FREEBIE!
Purple and yellow are complimentary colours so I wanted purple featured in the background to make this gorgeous Bouquet really POP. So I chose this Violet and Blue Grunge Monoprint Background to clip to the Decorative Grunge SVG Clipping Mask I used to create the framed effect on this card base using the tutorial mentioned above.
Aren’t sunflowers such a warm and friendly flower? I love them and I chose a gorgeous Sunflower Watercolour Bouquet Print and Cut design as the feature for this card. I adhered the sentiment banner and bouquet with adhesive foam squares and added some adhesive rhinestones and dew drop beads to finish off the card.
For the recipient of this card I knew her favourite colour was purple, and that she also likes pink so I thought it would be a lovely background which would also coordinate well with the bouquet feature.
I chose the Grunge Urban Drips SVG Clipping Mask for this card and the Purple and Magenta Abstract Watercolor Background is what I clipped to the mask to create the gorgeous grungy framed edge.
I used the Spring Mothers Day Watercolor Flower Bouquet Print and Cut for this card, and as you can see it works for much more than just Mothers Day. I just happened to paint this bouquet around Mothers Day and thought it would work beautifully for Mothers Day Cards!
Once I printed and cut the card base I adhered the sentiment banner and bouquet with adhesive foam squares and added some rhinestone bling and dew drop beads to finish it off!
Finally for this card I wanted to feature classic roses and chose the Pink and Violet Grunge Monoprint Background together with the Floral Art SVG Clipping Mask to create the gorgeous grungy floral frame effect.
The Roses are one of my favourite bouquet designs called Red and Pink Watercolor Roses Bouquet for Valentines or Mothers Day Print and Cut. Again, not just for Mothers Day or Valentines!
I just love the combination of the Red and Pink Roses with the Violet and Pink grungy background on this card. I find the combination beautifully striking and vibrant.
Once I adhered the sentiment banner and bouquet with adhesive foam squares and added some adhesive rhinestones and dew drop beads to finish this beautiful card.
