Hi Everyone,
I thought that I would pull out the brighter colours that co-ordinate with this designer series paper for my card so I've chosen balmy blue and polished pink. The Awash in Beauty dsp is very pretty and summery and makes a lovely card for any occasion. I love to make Tryptic cards with the sheets of dsp that we have that are more of a picture so let me show you what I did.
Materials
1 piece of polished pink card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"
1 piece of balmy blue card stock 4" x 5 3/4", scrap for the sentiment
1 piece of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scrap for the sentiment
1 piece of dsp 3 1/2" x 5 5/8"
Polished pink ink
True Beauty stamp set
Pansy Patch stamp set
Double Oval Punch
Brushed Brass Butterflies
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
Trimmer
Simply Scored
Bone Folder
Instructions
On the long side score the polished pink at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.
Cut the dsp into 3 strips - 3/4", 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" wide and then arrange them on the balmy blue layer and adhere in place with even gaps all the way around. Adhere this layer to the card front.
Stamp a flower from the True Beauty stamp set and a sentiment from Pansy Patch stamp set on the white mat layer and then add to the inside of the card. Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and punch out with the oval punch and layer up on a balmy blue scalloped oval. Add this to the card front with dimensionals.
Add some butterflies and the card is complete.
