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 Even though much of my designer series paper is no longer current, the floral prints are always a perfect choice for a card.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.

Fine Art

I like the painted brush strokes on this Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. I am not an artist, but I sure do feel like one when I send out a card, using this fabulous designer paper. Unfortunately, it is discontinued, but I am still using the package! Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   So Saffron A-2

   Fine Art Floral DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon 24"

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I wrapped the ribbon around the Fine Art Floral DSP panel and tied it off in a bow on the front. I used a glue dot to hold the bow in place. I also trimmed the edges.

I then adhered the panel onto a So Saffron card front.

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

You can easily choose to add more embellishments to the card front. I chose to keep everything as simple as possible so as to not take away from such beautiful brush strokes.
