Just Saying Hello Card Using Fred She Said Dragonfly Flower Doodledallion

Hello friends!  How are you?  The temperatures are rising again here in Southern CA.  We had a couple cooler days; but it is heating up again.  I love the fall; so I am excited about having it cool down.  My favorite temperature here is in the 60's.  

I have been trying to catch up with finishing cards I started and didn't finish.  I love the creative process of selecting an image, coloring if needed, selecting the sentiment for the outside if it is a mini slimline, finding papers and cardstock to match.  The part I don't like is selecting the sentiment for the inside and gluing everything together.  If I know who is receiving the card; then it is much easier to select the sentiment for the inside.  

I love this sweet Fred She Said "Dragonfly Flower Doodledallion precolored set".  It also includes the flowers without the dragonfly and has a lot of options for using your creativity.  You can also find this set in black and white; so you can color it yourself.  I can't color like I want; so I am using precolored digital images a lot more for my cards.

  1. Glad to hear it’s cooling off a bit Gloria. That’s always nice for fall. I love your mini Slimline card. I can see why you like their images. It is colored beautifully in that blue. I too have thought about making some cards but not putting a sentiment on them and that way I can customize them more when I need to. Your sentiment and the sentiment on the inside is really nice. “ Just For You” is a sentiment that can really go a long way.Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We really appreciate you!
