Elegant Hello to You Card with Justin Adkins

Let’s dive into today’s creative journey together!

Hello, friends! Justin Adkins here from Just a Note by Justin, and I am sharing my last creation from the May 2024 Release! I am putting the Hello to You Word Die set to use and making a simpler card with a white, black and gold color palette.

Below is a list of Picket Fence Studios products that I used to create this card:

Hello to You Word Die Set
Pinking Shears A2 Cover Die Set
Light Speed Gem Mix
Liquid Gold Paper Splatter Watercolor

I started off by die cutting my letters using the Hello to You Word Dies. I die cut the cursive "hello" from Gold Glitter Paper, and the "to you" from white cardstock. I set these side for later.

Next, taking an A2-sized piece of blending cardstock, I blended up a background using Lost Shadow, Hickory Smoke and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks. I then used the Pinking Shears A2 Cover Die Set to die cut the blended panel. Once I die cut the panel, I splattered it with water and then dried the water with a clean towel to get bleach marks on my card. I also splattered some watered down Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and Liquid Gold Paper Splatter Watercolor.

Once my panel was dry, I adhered this panel to an A2-size piece of black glitter paper. I adhered my "to you" letters directly to my ink-blended panel, and then adhered the "hello" die cut directly on top of "to you". I finished off this card by adhering Light Speed Gem Mix embellishments, and adhering the entire piece to an A2-size card base. My card was complete!
