I used a 5x6 vanilla card base. (The card is from the entire office, so it had to be big enough to hold everyone's signatures.) To create my designer paper, I stamped one of the intricate stamps from the Sweet Love set by PaperTrey Ink with Olive Green StazOn onto Very Vanilla cs. I repeated the image while making sure to connect them at the swirls. I also misted the entire piece with Pearl Glimmer Mist. Oh boy, does it shimmer! The panel is layered on Old Olive cs.
I stamped the sentiment frame with Olive Green StazOn and the sentiment with Old Olive ink onto Very Vanilla cs and layered it on Old Olive cs. All corners were notched with my 1/2" circle punch. I wrapped some pretty olive with white stitching grosgrain ribbon around the large panel, adhered the sentiment panel with Dimensionals and glued everything to the card base.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I also added some Stardust Stickles to the small dots on the designer paper for even more sparkle.
