Today I'm back with another beautiful card to show you. This card came together quickly because I let the beauty of the Share What You Love suite (pages 176-177 in the new catalog) do all of the work.
Isn't that gorgeous? It uses the same color scheme as the card I posted yesterday. I sometimes struggle deciding which colors of card stock to use together, so I let Stampin' Up! do all of the work for me. On each pack of designer series paper (DSP), it lists all of the colors of card stock that will coordinate with the DSP. It takes all of the guess work out of it and I'm left with beautiful color combinations every time.
This card is 5 1/4" square. In order to break up the background, I added three strips of DSP cut 1 3/8" wide to the Tranquil Tide layer. I stamped my sentiment in the lower right of my circle and then layered that on a Tranquil Tide scalloped circle cut from the Layering Circles framelits. I wanted to add some flowers around the sentiment, so I cut them out of an extra piece of DSP. The largest flower is popped up on dimensionals. I finished off the card with some Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon tied in a bow. The shimmer from the ribbon ties in well with the shimmer on the DSP.
I usually decorate the inside of my card as well because I like for the inside to coordinate with the card front. I added a piece of Whisper White card stock on top of the Tranquil Tide layer so I would have a lighter color to write my message on. I added a small strip of the DSP and a piece of the Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon as well.
I only used one image from the stamp set, so here's what it looks like in its entirety. If you'd like to purchase any of these items I used, simply click on the pictures below and they'll be added to your cart. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
