Anyone happen to be a Harry Potter fan? I absolutely loved the books and have read the series multiple times. I also enjoy the movies since they’re such a great adaptation of the books, thanks to J.K. Rowling’s involvement in the films. And though it might be a little hard to see it at first, Harry Potter was the inspiration behind today’s card design with its flying envelopes, which are inspired by the infamous Howlers in the books. Remember the screamer Ron received after crashing his dad’s car into the Womping Willow? I can still hear it!
This card design sits atop a piece of Berry Burst cardstock. The mat for the main focal images is a sheet of Lighter than Air designer series paper. I really loved the bright and cheery color combo and pattern of this particular sheet and felt it gave the perfect backdrop for this card theme. Each of the envelopes is cut from a piece of Delightfully Eclectic and Bright & Beautiful designer paper. Each of these designer series paper patterns plays off one another and pops beautifully from the busy pattern of the background mat, don’t you think? Each set of vellum wings is diecut using the flower in the Bright Skies dies.
Two of the envelopes are winging their way to their recipients while the one in the middle is so full of love that it simply burst at the seams and all of that love has come floating out. The hearts are diecut from Berry Burst cardstock using the Sending Love hearts dies. And don’t you just love the escaping heart fluttering away up in the upper corner?! The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink on vellum that has been punched using the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. By placing the sentiment on vellum it allows it to appear as though it’s floating in the scene — perfect for flying envelopes, don’t you think? I really love how the tinsel gems draw the eye diagonally across the card.
