This is my card for this weekÂ’s cc437. Karen is our hostess and she chose a really beautiful palette with strawberry slush, pistachio pudding and baked brown sugar. Our dessert is to make our own designer paper.
I started my card with my layout and this one is the MojoMonday #304 sketch. I chose to make a square card- 4 ½”.
I created my bg with the SU set – “flower shop”. I stamped in strawberry slush ink.
The rectangle layer is SU’s “venetian romance dsp”. I used a Cheery Lynn Designs die to cut my doily in baked brown sugar.
Added an embossed strawberry slush center with a pearl. The band across the card is embossed with the SU “fancy fan” ef.
My sentiment is from the SU six-sided sampler” set and stamped in early espresso ink..
My punched flower is from the SU flower shop set and matching pansy punch. The leaves are punched in pistachio and punched with the SU 5-petal punch.
I am also entering this in KittieÂ’s and TammieÂ’s DTGD fan club challenge.
Mary, your card is wonderful. Love the design you chose. Great use of the color combo.
