The new Season of Elegance Designer Series Paper is the star of today’s card. It is not only for Holiday cards though. I have paired it with Spotlight on Nature to show just that.
Papers
The Season of Elegance Designer Series Paper is part of the Season of Elegance Suite on page 25 of the Mini Catalog. This paper, as you can see, has quite a bit of gold flecks in it. I envision using this for Christmas cards, but saw this sheet that seemed more a milder green. So I paired it with Lost Lagoon card stock. To further carry that idea I used Lost Lagoon and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Markers for the flower color. These pull not only the Lost Lagoon but also the gold from the DSP. Of course I tend to add a thin layer between card stock and DSP. So the Basic White was used to also help the circle Pop.
Stamps and Dies
The Spotlight on Nature Bundle has been extremely popular. As soon as it is back in stock then it is gone again. No worries, it is scheduled to be back again the week of September 30. I chose the more simple edged of the Dies for the focal layer. It has just enough detail to not need a backing behind it.
The flowers are a simple technique of ink to rubber with Stampin’ Write Markers. I know this is not as common anymore since you can only purchase markers as a color family and not individually. However to me it is well worth having them. I used the markers of Lost Lagoon and Crushed Curry on the flowers. Then I came back and filled in with the Stampin’ Blends in Lost Lagoon Light and Daffodil Delight Light. The bit of splatter was to mimic the gold in the paper. It is Daffodil Delight Ink and the stamp is from the stamp set.
The butterfly was colored using the same Stampin’ Blends with the addition of a darker green. This is Shaded Spruce. It is fussy cut as there is not matching Die for the butterfly.
Finishes
To add some dimension to the card since everything is glued down, I raised the butterfly with Stampin’ Dimensionals. And of course there is a bit of bling. In this instance I wanted to add a bit more of the gold touch. These Gold Texture Adhesive Dots are new in the Mini Catalog. They fit my need for bling perfectly.
