Embrace Life

Stamps: Embrace Life, Hugs & Wishes, Sanded
Paper: Pixie Pink, Green Galore, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Pixie Pink, Green Galore, Basic Black
Accessories: Coluzzle set, Light Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Pixie Pink Marker, Pop Dots

This was my favorite card of the camp--and I am not a Bold Brights person as a rule. First we stamped the flower image onto the white paper and colored it in with the marker. We then stamped the green paper with the Sanded background stamp and cut it to frame the white square (just slightly larger than the white square itself.) Next, using the colozzle set, we cut out the circle--centering it as much as possible and then lined up the white paper so that our stamped image was showing to the best effect. We then mounted the white under the green and used the black paper to frame the entire thing, helping the entire image to pop.

Next we stamped another image on the card stock to make a complimentary background for the card itself. We also cut out a strip of the same paper to create a bar that we would mount through the center of the card, first tying on the pink ribbon. Once the bar was attached we put pop dots on the corners and in the center back of our main image and attached it to the card, finishing with a simple sentiment to complete the look. A beautiful card.

Kim, this card is so much prettier in real life (it's on my blog as well!). Thanks for thinking of me - you're awesome! Sharlene
