We’re already halfway through this brand new week. Some weeks seem to just go by in a flash, while others just take their sweet time. It’s always funny how that happens.
We continue our design series using the new Stampin’ Up! Floral Delight paper and vellum packs. And today’s card was inspired by a friend who took a nasty fall recently. I wanted something especially cheery as I know that my friend has taken the news of a broken shoulder pretty hard.
Our card begins with a base of Crushed Curry cardstock. I chose a pattern from the Floral Delight paper pack that provides a wonderful pop of bright white. The soft pattern in the paper reminds me of the wallpaper that I had in my room throughout most of my childhood (although that wallpaper had pink dots). The center focal section has lots of lovely layers, and we start with the pop of yellow down the center of our card front. I used the dogwood-like twig patterned sheet from the Floral Delight paper pack and matted it with Crushed Curry. The focal image panel is cut from the Old Olive screen pattern using the Spotlight on Nature dies. The heart is cut from Mossy Meadow using the Heart Shaped dies. For another pop of yellow, I added some flowers cut from Crushed Curry with the Heart Shaped dies with iridescent faceted gems serving as the floral centers. The sentiment from the Heart Shaped stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow on white cardstock and then cut using the small label die from the coordinating Heart Shaped die set. I cut a second small label from Crushed Curry to serve as the mat for the sentiment to draw the eye and added some Mossy meadow linen thread behind the sentiment panel to tie all of the elements of our card together. Gold low profile dots on and around the sentiment ensure that our sentiment stands front and center with our focal panel.
Tomorrow we’ll be hopping with the Luv 2 Stamp group. You definitely won’t want to miss it!
