Polished Thanks

I hate to cover up beautiful paper. So, when I came across this sketch challenge, I had to grab this beautiful designer series paper pack and display a piece of it on this card front. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Go To Greetings

Paper:

   Polished Pink A-2

   Basic Black 3-3/4 x 3-5/8

   Expressions in Ink DSP 3-1/4 x 2-3/4 

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside) 

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Paper Piecing

Accessories:

   Clear Faceted Gems

   2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds

   Adhesive

First, I cut the Expressions in Ink DSP panel into 3 columns, cutting at the 1-1/16" mark for each one. Remember to measure twice and cut once.

I then took each column and cut 6 rectangles, measuring 7/16 each. Keep these in order and in the right direction. I laid mine out on top of the Basic Black panel.

Next, I took each piece and adhered it onto the Basic Black panel, keeping them as evenly spaced and straight as possible. Liquid adhesive is best because you can still move it for a few seconds before it sets permanently.

I then adhered the Basic Black panel onto the Polished Pink card front.

Next, I stamped my sentiment underneath the image, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Lastly, I added a couple of Clear Faceted Gems to the image, a couple of Opal Rounds to the sentiment, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Artistically Mad

Do you like using ephemera packs? I don't mind the ones that are made to coordinate with a specific paper pack or stamp set, but the generic ones are a bit too blah for me. Thoughts?

First, I adhered the two panels of Expressions in Ink DSP to the Old Olive card front. I placed the greens on the left and the colored flowers on the right. 

I then added the Pale Papaya panel to the center and tilted it to form a "diamond shape."

Next, I stamped and die cut the Magenta Madness flower, using the Artistic Dies. 

I then added the flower to the center of the Pale Papaya panel, using dimensionals.

Next, I added a few elements from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack. I used a different frame on each of the cards above. I also added some gold leaves. I used glue dots and the Fine Tip Glue Pen to adhere them.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
