Sometimes, when I get a new stamp set, I like to just play around and randomly stamp images. So, I opened the Beauty Abounds set and an assortment of ink pads. There was a scrap of Whisper White cardstock on my table that looked the perfect size to experiment on.
Next thing I knew, I had something I really liked! Take a look:
Wow - that's a lot of colours in one little piece!
I matted the image panel onto Gorgeous Grape. Confession: I didn't plan to mount it askew - the piece slipped when I turned it upside down to rub the back and by the time I realized it, the glue had set. So - I went with it.
Since I had more new things to play with, I wrapped it with the new Old Olive Linen Thread. I already love this stuff! To finish it off, I used a Floral Romance Seal.
The DSP is from Botanical Butterfly, which is one of the awesome offerings in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. A card base of Gorgeous Grape finishes it all off.
Have an occasion coming up that you need a card for? If you need inspiration just visit Watercooler Wednesday.
What a pretty thank you card. Lovely choice of colours and perfect additional of the thread and seal.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tristan. I love purple and usually use it with green rather than yellow. That thread and those seals are going to be favourites, I can tell!
DeleteGail, this is gorgeous! I love the colour combinations. What a happy accident that your layer went askew - it looks like you meant it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb! Sometimes accidents are happy. I still want to straighten it out when I look at it, which is odd as I never usually worry about things being perfectly symmetrical.
