I don’t know how you work with ideas, but mine tend to get off track. The card I have today is one that started out as a case of one I received at OnStage. It included stamping on the DSP. I love doing that so that got me started. And then it veered way off from that inspiration card. They have nothing in common except for stamping on DSP! LOL!! That is ok because I feel it is more my own. Except I cannot help but laugh at myself. Here is the small amount of stamping on the DSP.
STAMPS & DIES
There is a bundle as well as the Elements of Text stamp set that I mentioned. Beginning with the stamping on DSP, I used the long and narrow stamp from the set. It is intended to be a background so I wanted a softer stamping. Basic Beige on this light DSP worked perfectly. It actually gave a light green look which worked perfectly with the large leafy piece.
The bundle is the Memorable Blooms Bundle. There is not a stamp for the large leaf, just a Die, but I love the presence it brings to the card. For the small floral image, I used Basic Gray to stamp on Very Vanilla cardstock. Then to keep the lighter tones going, I colored with Pretty In Pink Blends just around the edges. The leaves are colored with Old Olive Blends both light and dark.
PAPERS
There are several colors of cardstock, along with the simple piece of DSP. The card base is Old Olive to match the large leaf. (I did try Basic Beige for all light tones but it all faded together.) The embossed area is Crumb Cake for a lot of texture with one swipe of the embossing machine. Next is an off-center piece of Basic Beige. And on top of that is the DSP.
That little piece of DSP came from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper. Most of the sheets in this pack are softer colors. There are some darker blue sheets, but most seem to be a Basic Beige color. You can see the light pattern in the piece I chose. I really do love stamping on DSP!
EXTRAS
To create this card took several different Extra products. First is the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. This creates a stand out texture layer. Then to add more texture, along with some bling, I wrapped the Gold Twisted Thread around those layers twice. A simple knot off to the side completed this. And finally a flour needs a butterfly. Now that Spring is trying to appear, I felt it appropriate to add a Brushed Brass Butterfly as the bling.
MEASUREMENTS
This card base of Old Olive measures 4 1/4 X 11 and is scored and folded at 5 1/2. The Crumb Cake embossed layer is 4 X 5 1/4. For the off-center pieces, the Basic Beige measures 3 X 4 1/2 and the DSP is 3 X 4. There is a piece of Very Vanilla as the inside layer of the card cut to 4 X 5 1/4.
