Happy Tuesday!
Isn’t today’s card pretty? I can’t think of another word to describe it. I’m not sure why. Is it the scalloped frames or the gingham Designer Series Paper? Is it the open lined floral art, or the pretty crinkled bow? Stampin’ Up! did all of that. I simply and quickly put it all together.
Let’s just imagine for a minute that it’s my coloring that makes this card so pretty. I did it with my Blends and felt like an artist! I followed the open lines in the image with the bullet side of the Blend and in a matter of seconds, my image looked like it was water colored. Can you see the little bit of ink splatter behind the flower? The Color & Contour stamp set has a “splatter” (as I call it) stamp. I inked the splatter stamp with Fresh Freesia ink and stamped off once to get a subtle look.
I die cut the smaller scalloped frame and saw there were slits cut into all sides. This Scalloped Contour Die was designed that way making it easy to add a sentiment banner, ribbon, twine or any other element. You can slide your element under or over the frame. I snapped a quick photo to show you how I added the ribbon.
By the way, the White Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon is soft and easy to work with. It’s a thin 1/4″ ribbon, which makes it a good alternative to twine. The gingham Designer Series Paper is from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.
So, die cut a scalloped frame, add some gingham patterned paper and soft ribbon and create something “pretty”.
…the only limitation is your imagination.
