Greetings, My Darling Dear!

Hi everyone, Jess here today with a simple and quick greeting with Studio Calico's Darling Dear.  This collection is super fun and the colors are beautiful.  I went for a minimalist look, with just a few pops of pattern, some stitching, and a twine bow to wrap it all up.



I really love these fun Darling Dear speech bubbles.  I chose three "hellos" for a repeated greeting and used foam tape to pop them up on three sewn squares. 



The squares are also popped for dimension.  It's nice to add height difference for interest when the overall design of a card is fairly simple. 



I also like to add stitching to simple designs to add texture and interest.  Here I added a double line of straight stitching as a border.  And don't worry about it being perfect... mine isn't! You can also use a thin line pen to draw faux stitching as I did on the gray paper if you don't have a machine or are too lazy to get it out.  :-P

I'll be back later this month with more from Darling Dear so stay tuned!
