I love this card as it uses minimal supplies but gives a great wow effect. As it makes use of punched circles, it is a perfect card to make with young children.

The theme of this card is circles. You can make a huge variety of matching stationery such as invitations, envelopes and goody bags. I truly believe that we need to get kids involved when they are young in various crafts so that these skills and hobbies aren’t lost. I know I would much prefer a child playing with ink and paper than stuck in front of a tv.

Measurements

  • Real Red card stock – A6 card base (A6 is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

I think this type of card would also work with different coloured punched butterflies. I am going to try it and if it works I will share it with you.

Primary colours make this card sing. Primary colours are red, blue and yellow and the contrast and complement each other perfectly. Secondary colours are orange, green and purple. The colour wheel does help to match colours together.

I love to use coloured card bases with a white mat that gives a little border around the card. Do you use coloured card bases or do you prefer white? I like to frame my images on my card as I feel it just makes the whole project look more complete.
