Card Of The Day:

Sunday - May 17, 2009

Lots of layering was done by Lisa in this very appealing "Thinking of You" card. Elegant Eggplant card stock was used for the base card. A layer of Certainly Celery was first stamped with the "Print Pattern" background stamp on the bottom 3/4" of the piece. Next, a length of light blue gingham ribbon was wrapped around the edge of this stamped background and knotted toward the right side. "Thinking of You" from the "Sincere Salutations" stamp set was inked up with Eggplant ink and stamped on the bottom right of the Celery card stock. This piece was then adhered to the Eggplant card. The flower stamp was inked up with a Ballet Blue marker for the flower portion & a Certainly Celery marker for the leaf/stem portion and then stamped on a rectangular piece of white card stock. The outline stamp was then inked up in black ink and stamped on top of this image. This piece was layered on top of 2 slightly larger pieces of Lavendar Lace & Eggplant card stocks. An Eggplant word window punch-out was bent around and glued to the bottom corner of the framed flower. A gold brad was added using the paper piercing tool from the crafters' tool kit. This decorative focal point was then glued to the card front with a leftward tilt using SNAIL.
