I am sharing another card using the Hand-Penned products. I love the delicacy of these gorgeous stamps and papers. They truly look like someone sat down with Pen and Paper and drew the designs, then colored them using watercolors. A card is pretty much finished as soon as you add the paper and stamps, they are that pretty on their own.
Hand-Penned
The Hand-Penned Suite of products includes the stamp set, Hand-Penned Petals, the matching dies , Penned Flowers Dies, the DSP, Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper, and finally the Genial Gems. All of these products are wonderful.
I used the stamps and DSP for today’s card. The layout is actually a very simple one. The base card is a basic 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 folded in half. I used a strip of the DSP cut to 1 X 5 1/2 and placed that along the cut edge on the front of the card. The layer beneath the stamped image is a second piece of the DSP. It is cut 2 1/2 X 2 3/4. The stamped Basic White is cut to 2 1/8 X 2 3/8.
Colors and Finishes
The base card I chose is darker than the colors in the DSP. There is a Misty Moonlight in the paper, but I went a tad darker with Night of Navy. The darker color helps the Highland Heather of the front layer stand out a bit more. The flower is stamped using Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.
To finish the card, I stamped the Thanks using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I felt it needed to be darker to pop. One of the final additions is a bow. The Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon was the choice I made. It makes an easy bow, and ties the stamped layer to the DSP layer along the edge of the card. For the touch of bling, I added a trio of Pearls to a couple of the Freesia flowers. I have to have some bling!!
