I shared this card yesterday as an addition to the Blog Hop New Year’s Card. I do love how this one turned out, so I wanted to give you all of the fun details. I will not have the stamp and punch in the supplies though. They are not available to customers yet. So they are not in my file for supplies. Sorry!!
This card was for Brian King, my Stampin’ Up! upline. Yesterday was his birthday.
I almost did not get purchase the Handsomely Suited Bundle. Now I am so happy that I did. I had so much fun making this card. It is not overly bright, but it still makes me Smile!
There are two long tie images in the stamp set. I used them alternately to create the background. I started with a piece of DSP from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper pack. Who would have thought??? I was originally looking for the gray paper in that pack. But when I saw this piece, I knew it would work and my card took a different turn.
To pull out the Terracotta Tile flecks in the paper, I stamped the ties in that color of ink. I then went looking for other DSP with that color in it. I have a lot of scraps of DSP, and that was perfect for this card. I found two pieces in the Play With Pattern 6X6 DSP pack. The polka dot paper that is behind the sentiment is one. And the bow ties are from the other piece. I thought the white background of the bow ties would brighten up the card.
The sentiment is from the stamp set. I love when you can make a full card from one stamp set! I don’t always do that, but love the possibilities. The background for the sentiment is another upcoming product, the Double Oval Punch. It is a Must Have!!!! I added the Smoky Slate layer to the back of the two ovals to tie in the base of the card and break up all of the Terracotta Tile. I used the Layering Ovals Dies and it matched perfectly with the punched ovals. WooHoo!!
This was a fun card to make and the layout is a very versatile one. I will be using this one again. Thank you for stopping by today. Please come back tomorrow for another new project!
