Mass Producing

I needed some quick cards in a hurry, so I did some mass producing today. The NMBS blog, to which I have not posted anything for a long time, had a challenge to made thank you cards with a monogram. After I made these:

I realized I was using a retired alphabet set. Oh well!! I used some of the green from Holiday Treasures, and matched each of the ink colors with a scalloped mat and grosgrain ribbon trim. The sentiment is from Fresh Cuts.

• Stamps: Letterpress Alphabet, Fresh Cuts
• Paper: WW, Holiday Treasures
• Ink: Apricot Appeal, Tempting Turquoise, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Stazon Black
• Acc: Grosgrain Ribbon, Large Oval Punch, Nesties, Dimensionals

I also needed some sympathy cards. As I was looking through my non-SU DP, I came across my BG Stella Ruby. The designs are so strong & vivid, yet with muted colors, that I let the floral pattern be the main image and just added a small sentiment and felt flower; the piece I cut off, I added on the inside of the card along with the sentiment:

My photography just does not capture the beauty and deep colors of these papers!

Here's how the inside looks with the scrap adhered. Just adds a little extra touch.
