This card was another experiment. I usually seat down to create something and hope for the best!
This card was the end result. I can’t say that it is totally original because I have seen panel cards like this one before. But I don’t think I copied it completely either because I wasn’t following a pattern. In any case, this look is very easy to accomplish yet elegant.
I first stamped 3 different images from Circle Circus (115778) in a piece of Whisper White card stock (100730). I chose Rich Razzleberry ink (115658), Old Olive ink (102277) and Chocolate Chip ink (100908) for the circles. I then cut it in three panels. Those three panels are mounted on Rich Razzleberry card stock (115316) which are attached to an Old Olive card stock (100702) base. The sentiment is from the Something Sweet stamp set (from the past Mini Occassions Catalog). I also added some Rich Razzleberry polka-dot ribbon (115613) threaded through a slit made using the Horizontal Slot Punch (105089).
Sorry for the lack of measurements… I do know that the finished card is 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.
Is that even possible? Well, yes!
This is a smaller size card… it measures 3-1/4″ x 2-3/4″. I was experimenting but I think it looks just beautiful. I used the Vintage Vogue stamp set (117690), the Elements of Style stamp set (for the greeting (118611)) and the Beautiful Wings embosslits die (118138). The card is Sahara Sand card stock (105328) and the Whisper White (100730) focal image is matted on Melon Mambo cardstock (115320). I’m loving the Melon Mambo/Sahara Sand combination! I also added Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz (118772) all over the front but the picture doesn’t show the beautiful shimmer.
To create the focal image I stamped the vines in Old Olive ink (102277); the flowers in Pink Pirouette (coming back on July 1), Regal Rose (105211) and Rose Red (101778); the leaves in Certainly Celery (105217); and the greeting in Soft Suede (115657).
