Howdy! and thanks for stopping by to see what I've been crafting! Today, I have a card I demonstrated at my downline meeting, 'Hoot's Got Stamps?' this month. I was a card that Robin Merriman had posted on July 19th, 2011, and fell in love with it! I used this CAS'd card to show my downline how the introduction of one new, inexpensive item could really inspire their folks in their workshops and clubs.
Here's my card:
One of the main reasons that I just love this card, is the simplicity and elegance of it. You use a little product. Marina Mist cardstock for the base. A quarter sheet of very vanilla cardstock for the main image. I stamped the floral image from Elements of Style in Marina Mist classic ink. Then I stamped the Wonderfully Worn background stamp in Sahara Sand. I then took a 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" First Edition and ripped the two long ends, crumpled the DSP an sponged with Crumb Cake classic ink. . Then I wrapped the seam binding around the card. The fancy oval, is actually a new embossing folder from Stampin' Up! - Designer Frames, I embossed the piece of very vanilla cardstock first, then added the monogram and faux half-pearls. I used foam tape to elevate the oval off the card, to help give this vintage simple card some charm.
Thank you for looking! Please leave me your thoughts/ideas about this card or other things you see that catches your eye
