My kind of Tweeting!

Ahhh, the craze of social media and networking! It is a love/hate relationship for me. You won't find this girl tweeting, so the closest thing to it is my Take Flight set, my most current collection at Mygrafico. This one has some fun graphic elements and verses that are perfect for Father's Day card or scrapbook page! Safe travels over the Memorial Day Weekend and have fun celebrating sensibly!

Things Aren’t Always Black & White

...Or Are They?
Just as in life, there are always some grey areas, and this card uses a clean and classic design playing on high contrast b&w colors with a grey pinstripe patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs as a neutral background. The punch and verse are both from Stampin Up!®.
The graphic is a digi stamp design from my Hip & Happy set, available for purchase on www.mygrafico.com.

Also using digi art from the Hip & Happy set, this next birthday card introduces aqua as an accent color to make the designs pop. I used the swirled element in this set colorized in white to create the black & white border strip. That is the exciting thing about working with the editable eps files in Illustrator...you can colorize them to what you want them to be or simply print in b&w or shades of grey added, as shown here for equally fun results.
