Hello Mini Cover Plate!

Hi friends!  It's Friday and I'm winding down the week with another card made with that awesome new

 Hello Mini Cover Plate Die by Catherine Pooler Designs.   

This is a two layer die set that cuts a solid layer and then the  Hello word layer.  You can use them together or separately on the front of your card.  You can embellish around it or simply use it on it's own for a beautiful clean and simple look.    The letters alone can also be added to a card or would work great as an inlay.  So many possibilities with this one die set!

For my card today I decided to layer it up!  I cut the Hello layer twice, once in white and then out of a beautiful plaid pattern from Catherine Pooler's Sum-Sum Summertime 6x6" paper pack.   I ink blended the white layer with some of Catherine's Melon Ice ink.  I cut the solid layer die from the dark gray Smoke Cardstock, then I adhered them all together.  By offsetting the Melon Ice layer I was able to create a shadow affect.  Tilting the hello layers over the gray made it a little whimsical and fun.

Dies:  Hello Mini Cover Plate, Sprinkles Mini Cover Plate, Nested Labels (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Ink:  Melon Ice (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Paper:  Sum-Sum Summertime, Smoke and Mirrors Cardstock, Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Accessories:  Charleston Mix (Catherine Pooler Designs), natural twine.

I added one more layer in white, underneath the Hello layer using a die from Catherine Pooler's new Sprinkles Mini Cover Plate die set.  I love the pierced dot edging on that die and I think it frames the Hello beautifully.   I chose a coordinating pattern of Melon Ice colored music notes from the Sum-Sum Summertime paper pack and cut a Nested Labels die from it.  I then added a piece of that diecut to each end. 

I finished this card up by wrapping it up in a natural twine bow and added some sparkle with some sequins from Catherine Pooler's beautiful new Charleston Mix.
