Today’s card began as an oopsy cards! I was designing a card for a class and cut the paper wrong. Of course I did not notice it until after I had adhered the DSP to that layer. So the card I am sharing is one that I figured out how to use the piece anyway.
Papers
The cut up layer was the problem child. I love the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper and hated to toss it. After a bit of contemplation, I decided to cut the layers into strips to randomly place on this card base. Actually they are not randomly placed but you understand I hope.
The card base is Basic White with a layer of Berry Burst. I pulled the Berry Burst from the DSP. The layer behind the DSP is Azure Afternoon. Since the DSP is sort of “torn” pieces anyway, the cutting into strips really was not a huge stretch.
Stamps and Punch
The stamped images are all from the Darling Details stamp set. I wanted something lighter with the busy background. The flower is outline stamped with Berry Burst Ink and then filled with Bubble Bath Ink. I added leaves of Pretty Peacock. The small sentiment didn’t really show when I stamped it on the flower layer. So I stamped on scrap and then fussy cut. By doing this and raising it with Stampin’ Dimensionals it really pops. To give an additional shape with the strips, I punched the sentiment layer with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. The entire layer is raised as well.
Finishes
To complete this card I added some of the Sheer Ribbon Combo in Azure Afternoon. There are a couple of strips simply adhered below the sentiment layer. For the Bling, I went back to one of my favorites, the Festive Pearls. I am so sad they are retiring. I love that there are different colors included in this pearls pack. And between them they go with almost everything. For today I added a trio of the silver pearls to the center of the flower.
