I then cut (split) the image in half and then matched the two different panels next to each other as shown above. 

Next, I adhered the two panels onto the top of a Moody Mauve matte, and stamped the bottom of the Moody Mauve with my sentiments: Happy Birthday and Thank You, both from the Go To Greetings.

I then wrapped a Diamond Weave Ribbon around the panel to conceal the seam.

Rococo Pearls

This layout can be used for any occasion. Just find two coordinating designer series papers and you are good to go. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Go To Greetings

Paper:

   Shaded Spruce A-2

   Perennial Lavender DSP 5-1/4 x 4, 2 x 5

   Rococo Rose 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 2-1/8 x 5-1/8, 2-1/2 x 1-1/2

First, I adhered the DSP panels to the Rococo Rose mattes.

I then adhered the larger panel to the Shaded Spruce card front.

Next, I adhered the rectangular or smaller panel to the right side of the card front. Note its placement: the tops of the Rococo Rose mattes are even with each other, but slightly to the left of the right edge of the card, leaving a bit of the DSP card front showing on the right and the bottom.

I then stamped and punched the sentiment, and adhered it to the card front.

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

I decided to make a few cards with a few Spanish sentiments that I had on hand. What do you think of these:

Birthday Roses

I used Black and White on a River Rock. Silly, I know. Black ink, white leaves on a window sheet, and all on a card base, whose color is known as "River Rock." Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Stippled Roses

   Go To Greetings

Paper:

   River Rock A-2

   Naturally Eclectic Card Overlays 1/2 sheet

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Black Glitter Washi Tape

   Black Rhinestone Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I cut a sheet of the Naturally Eclectic Card Overlay in half. This will make two cards!

I then laid the overlay on top of the River Rock card front, to know where to stamp my sentiment. I made a tiny pencil mark to guide me.

Next, I removed the overlay and stamped my sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I also stamped two roses on the bottom part of the card front. If you are nervous about stamping, you can use a Stamparatus, Stamp-a-ma-jig, or a MISTI to get perfect placement.

I then added glue dots behind a few of the white leaves on the overlay and adhered it to the top of the River Rock card front.

Next, I added a strip of Black Glitter Washi Tape to help hold the overlay in place and to hide the seam.

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

Berry Birthday

Draw attention to your card simply by cutting the designer series paper (DSP) differently. Using two-sided paper makes this even easier because all you have to do is flip two sides. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Go To Greetings

Paper:

   Rich Razzleberry A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scrap

   Berry Delightful DSP 5 x 3-3/4

Ink:

   Rich Razzleberry

Technique:

   Sponging

   Punching

Accessories:

   Brights Enamel Shapes

   Washi Label Punch

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I cut the DSP panel. I lined up two opposite ends of the DSP on the cutting line and cut the paper on the diagonal. This gave me two large triangles.

Keeping the paper together, I slid the paper to the other two opposite corners and diagonally cut the DSP. I now had 4 triangles.

I then flipped over the left and right triangles to give me a view of the other side of the DSP.

Next, I adhered these triangles on to a Basic White panel. I left a little space between the panels as shown above.

I then adhered this panel on to the Rich Razzleberry card front.

Next, I stamped, punched, and sponged the sentiment. You can change this to whatever you need. I adhered it to the center of the card, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added an enamel star shape to the sentiment, and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
