Happy Muslim Mama: Playing with Colour – May Cards

I thought it would be nice to make a change from Eid cards for some variety, so had a go at these.

The patterned green paper used in the background of this card is from a brochure. I’ve saved all sorts of bits of nice paper from catalogues, brochures and packaging which I am working with at the moment. Not only are they free (papers bought from the stores for this purpose are extortionately priced), but they are also unique and the patterns and textures can give you inspiration for the whole card. They aso tend to be good think quality.

This is a simple design using one of the packs of papers I bought with the gift vouchers I was given at work. It’s nice to have an assortment of coloured paper to play about with. I managed to cut the sides of this blue piece of paper with the special blade on my new guillotine before I broke it. I’ll try taking it back today and see if I can pick up some nice bits in it’s place.

Me and Little Lady had fun picking the colours for the background in this card and the one below.
