I wasn't in a colouring mood (shocking!) when I was working on this card so I reached for Vertical Greetings II Stamps and Die-namics and one of the fabulous saying from the set.
I knew I didn't want to go with bright colours for today's card so I chose papers from the My Mind's Eye Nutmeg collection and stuck with neutrals and blues.
I cut out the sentiment panel from patterned paper and it was a little flimsy so I also cut out the same shape from Kraft card stock and adhered the two layers together for a little more rigidity. I stamped the sentiment with Versamagic Ocean Depth (I'm loving my new Versamagic chalk inks) and added some rhinestones for a little bling. For the tab I simply used the Small Scallop Border Die-namics to cut out the blue patterned paper then trimmed it down to five scallops.
For the flower I used the smallest size of the Botanical Beauty Die-namics to cut out some cream card stock and the center was cut from Kraft card stock. I can't seem to get enough of the new MFT Buttons so I added a Berrylicious button to the center. The Dizzy Border Die-namics was perfectly lacy and delicate for the horizontal element.
Here are the sketchy details:

Karen, I really like your card -- I like the blues and that patterned paper that looks moroccan kinda. I love that Ocean Depth ink too... Your flower looks like it's from that very thin foam stuff we used to use for girl scout projects. Anyway, you've given me a great deal to think about! Oh, and I love the MFT buttons too! I bought 3 colors, put them in a canning jar and it's so pretty I don't want to use any! I'm a goose!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Love the colors and the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteWas all prepared for a PI girl but I love this! Such pretty blues!
