As promised, here are some more cards using the beautiful English Garden DSP. The basic idea for this card comes from Connie Collins. Thank you Connie! Her card uses Blackberry Bliss and a scalloped edge which is very pretty.
I chose to use Melon Mambo for my mat color and I didn't use a scalloped edge or stitches. This card is going to be another one of my favorites!
Even the inside is decorated. I must remember to do this more often. I love having the inside looking beautiful too!
Recipe:
Mossy Meadow - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Melon Mambo - 5 1/4" x 4"
DSP - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Whisper White (inside) 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Sentiment Inside and Out: Garden in Bloom
Ink: Soft Suede for sponging the edges of the DSP and Circle
Mossy Meadow for Sentiments
Since I didn't want to do stitching, I made my own "stitch" with my Soft Suede Stampin' Write Marker. I only did this around the 2 1/2" Circle.
Remember, if you are reading this in an email (exactly how many of you are reading from an email? I'm curious - post a comment and let me know, please?) - if you are, remember to go to my blog link below to see the "scrolling store" from "mystampin'blog" website.
Thank you for looking in today. Happy Hump Day!

I feel special today after reading this card :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Donna. I haven't seen you sponging edges very much lately. Ironically, again, I just did for the first time in a long while the other day too. I love the softness it adds to the right paper and style of a card.
Still need to place that order but today my darling granddaughter and I have a full day of food prep planned as we are making a huge family supper tonight for the gang. I hope I'm able to pull this day off! Wish me luck!
I tend to forget to sponge the edges and then it will be on all of them and then I stop again. I get anxious to get them photographed and posted I think!
ReplyDeleteGood thing you like this card... (snicker)
Love ya and good luck... I'd say don't overdo, but I know better!
