Card + Envelope | Jenn Picard

I think we can all agree that pineapple images are popping up everywhere; from artwork to decor to clothing. And I will admit that I first I really didn't get "it," but once I received my Far Far Away Card Kit and began working with the adorable fruit images I loved them. So I did a little searching (went directly to Pinterest of course:) and I also discovered that a pineapple is a universal image that is used in many places as a symbol of hospitality and welcoming.

I found this cool print and was immediately drawn to the fun geometric shape and unexpected color combination. The more I searched, the more fun I had dreaming up different combinations and ways to use the pineapple image.

One technique that I absolutely love using with line art images is paper piecing. This is also a great way to use up those little scraps of patterned paper that you just can't get rid of.

Just by stamping the image on patterned paper and cutting it out you can create a very fun, simple yet impactful card.

I kept the cards very simple so that the pineapple image is the main focus but to give a little more dimension I added foam dots to the image and also the main white panel so it is raised up from the card base.This technique can easily be used with any of the fantastic paper patterns in the Card Kit. The possibilites are endless.
