I found coloured quotes (Melonheadz) in a box this week and decided to use these two to make my exchange cards for this month. These were laser printed and embellished with bright colours a while back and so I went looking for coordinating supplies. I added a black border to the quotes using a large tipped permanent marker. For the left hand card, I added yellow and red ink to the inside of the embossing folder before I passed the orange cardstock through my Big Kick. Love the look!! I added two lengths of black gros grain ribbon before adhering my quote with 3D foam tape and then adhered the whole element to a red card front. I created a layered greeting using a ripped strip of cardstock, a small greeting punchie and some small black circles which I adhered to my card front below the focal element using double sided tape.
For the card on the right, I stitched a rectangle of my own handmade paper in orange to my red card front using black thread capturing the ends of my black ribbon in the process. I adhered several ripped pieces to the back right hand side of my quote and glued it to the handmade paper above the ribbon. I created a layered greeting which I glued over the ribbon on the right hand side.
These cards feature a different quote from Melonheadz. She had a LOT of great digital images on her site!! I created these in much the same way I did the ones above. Quotes outlined in black marker, coloured embossed backgrounds on orange cardstock, black gros grain ribbon and layered punchie greetings.

Love the quotes - such good advice to follow in the pursuit of happiness in the process of living a good life!!
