Hi there!
What do you need to create a card in a jiffy ? Inspiration wise I mean. Not supply wise ;)
1) A theme and or technique.
2) A layout or sketch
3) A color combination
I find that when I have those 3 things in place, a card comes together really easy !
I LOVE playing with geometric shapes.
For my background I played with repeating octagons. I love the little square that forms (negative space) where 4 octagons meet! I just couldn't resist adding a square gem to 3 of them.
This type of background can easily be created in the Silhouette Studio!
For my focal point I layered 3 octagons (Spellbinder dies) with foam tape to create a graphic 'rose' .
The leaves are part of the daisy die set from My Favorite Things.
Hello sentiment cut with my Silhouette (Miss Kate Cuttables)
