Fun with K & Company Que Sera Sera

I was browsing eBay, and I found a wonderful embellishment set by K & Company. The line is called Que Sera Sera (which is from The Sound of Music as my dad informed me), but it has an old-world, fantasy, Latin feel to it. It is so much fun to work with, and I hope to have the entire collection from the Que Sera Sera line soon. I made several ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) for scrapbook.com's Anything Goes ATC Swap #2, and they were so much fun to make. With such a fantastic line from K & Company to work with, they were anything but complicated even though they look like they took hours. Each one took less than one hour. Here's what I created:

"Que Sera Sera!"


"Explore Life"



"Imagine"


"Brighten"


I realized that all it takes to really take a card from ordinary to extraordinary can be going outside the lines -- literally. The rectangular shape becomes unique and organic by letting cutouts flow over the edges.

Next up I show you the steps I took in creating a new original Christmas card. Stay tuned :)
