Calypso Garden

Thank goodness for flowers that are never really part of a trend. Even though much of my designer series paper is no longer current, the floral prints are always a perfect choice for a card. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Calypso Coral A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Garden Impressions DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Fine-Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Garden Impressions DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Calypso Coral card front. 

I then added a few Fine-Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems to the card front.

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

You can easily add a sentiment to the card front for a specific occasion. I like to keep several cards blank and send them as the need arises. The card's purpose is then determined by what I choose to personally write on the inside of the card.

Thinking of You Daily

The combination of colors on this designer series paper is exciting. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Garden Meadow

Paper:

   Pebbled Path A-2

   Calypso Coral 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Softly Stippled DSP 2 x 5-1/4

   Basic White 2 x 5-1/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Wild Wheat 1-3/4 x 2-3/4

Ink:

   Pebbled Path

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

   Punching

Accessories:

   Everyday Label Punch

   Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder

   Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed the Basic White panel, using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder.

I then adhered the DSP panel to the left side of the Calypso Coral matte and the embossed Basic White panel to the right side of the Calypso Coral matte. Notice, that the embossed panel shrunk just a tad with the embossing, but I didn't mind. If you want them to match perfectly, then you will have to shave off a smidge on the DSP panel.

Next, I adhered the Calypso Coral panel to the Pebbled Path card front.

I then stamped and punched the sentiment on the Wild Wheat piece, using Pebbled Path ink and the Everyday Label Punch.

I attached the sentiment in the center with a few dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a couple of gems and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
