This week, our designs are focused on the combination of texture and sentiments. Today, I’m veering away from the simplicity of the design theme just a smidge as I incorporate more products in this design as we combine the Soft Waves embossing folder with the Wildflower Birthday accessories. And you may notice that while this design has a lot more accoutrement, it lacks nothing in the texture department – from embossing to chunky glimmer paper, there’s a lot going on here!
Our card gets started with a base of Flirty Flamingo cardstock. The background is a quarter-sheet of Flirty Flamingo that has been machine embossed with the Soft Waves embossing folder and then mounted on a mat of Night of Navy cardstock. Our focal section has a lot of elements from the Wildflower Birthday accessories, including the strip of blue polka-dotted paper that serves as the anchor element. Then we have the foiled and striped tag that serves as the base for everything else in our focal panel. Our cupcakes sit atop a piece of the pastel ombre glimmer paper that is diecut with the Mixed Labels dies and the small circle cut with the Spotlight on Nature dies. Dimensionals provide some depth and give plenty of room for our pop of gold thread. The sentiment from Simply Said is stamped in Night of Navy on white and then cut with paper snips and mounted on top of the decorative banner cut with the Mixed Labels die from a sheet of Petunia Pop glimmer paper. Petal Pink foil gems finish things off and tie all our peachy colored elements together.
Tomorrow we’ll be pairing up our weekly design theme with a sketch. Any guesses on what catalog I may choose?
