The name I used for this card is Sweet Symmetry, and the card fits both of those words perfectly. In Symmetry stamp set paired with Sweet Symmetry DSP is just lovely.
Quick and Simple Layers
With the gorgeous Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper it was so quick and simply to make a pretty card. The detail in this DSP has the paper appearing almost 3D. By using the Calypso Coral cardstock as the base card helped to pull the darker shade a bit more. And the layer of Basic White cardstock gives the illusion of the softest shades being almost white. The advantage of having all of the detail in the paper gives a chance for a more simple focal layer.
Stamps
Partnering the stamp set with the paper was a piece of cake for this card. The In Symmetry stamp set matches perfectly. And stamping the flower with Calypso Coral Ink was a given. Of course the stem and leaves had to be a green, but that only added to the brightness of the card. For a touch of sweetness I added the “smile” ,from the Lovely You stamp set, going across the center of the stem. It is a bit different and very noticeable. And the final touch was a single Rhinestone at the base of the flower where the stem meets.
Measurements
Quick and easy measurements make the quick card even better. The base card is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 5 1/2. For the White layer, it is 4 X 5 1/4 and the DSP is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8. I did not feel the flower layer needed a background layer. And that is very different for me. That layer is 2 1/2 X 2 3/4.
