Happy Friday Everyone!
Since Cinco de Mayo is on Sunday, I decided to get the party started at the beginning of the weekend instead of the end. Today's project is a Cinco de Mayo card that will get friends excited to celebrate.
I wanted to keep the card simple, and festive. The pinata and the Cinco de Mayo saying was cut from the Cricut Cartridge Create A Critter 2. I started out with black and green for my background. The black cardstock was embossed with Swirls; to make it stand out just a little bit more. The pinata was cut at size 2 1/2 inches and Cinco de Mayo was cut at 2 inches. For these two cutouts, I used red, yellow-orange, brown, black and purple cardstock. I also added a banner with a clear stamp from Studio G. I don't know if you can tell in the picture, but I used a purple ink pad, to bring out the purple from the pinata.
On the inside of the card, I wanted to incorporate colors from the front of the card. I again used the black, green and yellow-orange cardstock. The sentiment inside is from the same clear stamp set from Studio G, and used a red ink pad.
I hope everyone enjoyed my first post, and hope everyone has a great Cinco de Mayo! I will leave you with one last photo of my card.
We would love to see some of your Cinco de Mayo projects, so feel free to link up in the comments.
