For You

Today’s card showcases one of the single stamp sets that immediately caught my attention when the Annual Catalog debuted. It is the Amazing Year set. My favorite stamps are ones that can “stand alone”. This set has two of those, plus some great sentiments.

Stamp Set

The Amazing Year stamp set is such a great value and is wonderful for newer stampers. It allows us to make a card using just one stamp set. This one can have two different focal stars with a variety of sentiments. And this lovely bouquet has it’s own little attached sentiment on a tag.

Paper

There are two different pieces of DSP used on this card. Both are from the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper. The striped was a hit with me immediately. It reminds me of the old pillow ticking material. And the flower bouquet is stamped on a second piece of the DSP. By looking closely you can see the lines which appear to be from an old and faded ledger sheet. Stamping on DSP is something that we sometimes forget about. A perfect piece of paper as this is a great reminder to give it a try. It just stands up and begs to be stamped on!

Colors

Most of the colors used came from the Abigail Rose DSP. The Early Espresso is not a color that I used very often. But it is in most of the sheets of that DSP pack. So it was called to duty with the card base as well as the ink for stamping the bouquet. The color is just a bit softer than Black would have been. The colors for the flowers were the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. Of course that came from the striped DSP piece. And the final touch is the strip of t he Natural Finish Ribbon. It blends perfectly and grounds the bouquet layer.

Measurements

The card base of Early Espresso is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. For the layer I chose Crumb Cake. And it is cut to 5 1/4X 4 with the Striped DSP layer cut to 5 X 3 3/4. Finally the focal layers are cut 2 7/8 X 3 3/8 and 2 3/4 X 3 1/4. A last touch is the one Petal Pink Sold Faceted Gems.
