Hello CSM friends! Thanks for dropping by to see how this sweet “HELLO” card came together.

I used several fun products from MultiCraft’s Forever in Time products. Neutrals Cardstock, 6×6 paper stack; “Vintage 2”, Laser-Cut Wood Stickers and Epoxy Alpha Buttons. The papers have some gorgeous patterns and their size is perfect for card making!

One of the key principles of design is repetition. For my card, I chose to repeat elements from the patterned paper – the rose image, the colours and the circle shape of the roses.

My Chameleon pens were the key ingredient to matching the colours. I used them to colour the laser-cut wooden rose & leaf,  as well as the epoxy alpha, even on the wood I was able to get nice blending of colours!

…and I can’t even tell you how yummy it was to colour on the epoxy buttons! The colour was perfect and remained somewhat translucent!

I used my favourite tape runner; E-Z Runner Grand, by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to adhere my paper to the MultiCraft cardstock base. My envelope was also made using this nicely, weighted cardstock.

This card was super simple to put together but so much fun to colour the elements and make them work for the look I was going for.

Look for some MultiCraft products in a store near you, they make scrapbooking & cardmaking fun and affordable!
