Strong and Beautiful

Strong and Beautiful is the name of the stamp set used for this card, but I think it also applies to this beautiful Designer Series Paper.  This DSP is called See A Silhouette but look at these bold beautiful flowers.  The colors are so pretty and bright and the outlines remind me of my favorite coloring books as a child.

Do you remember your first coloring books?  They had nice wide outlines, then as we got better at coloring, we had coloring books with skinny lines.  I much preferred the bold ones!  I still have trouble staying in the lines.  HA HA HA!


Recipe:
Whisper White Thick cardstock - 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Whisper White cardstock - 4" x 5 1/4" - embossed with (oops.. a retired leaf folder) you could use Layered Leaves instead - or anything else you like!
Whisper White scrap for sentiment
Mossy Meadow for behind sentiment
See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper

I attached the leaves to the backs of the flowers with dimensionals and then popped it all up with another layer of dimensionals.

Stamps:  Strong and Beautiful punched with Pretty Label Punch
Ink:  Mossy Meadow


Thank you for looking in today.  Have a great week!

  1. The embossing folder is perfect for this, well, strong and beautiful card! I like your thinking about when I was little, well, I am still short, my early coloring books had the wide lines and the crayons were thick. I went through stages with coloring like outlining. Seems logical when I am using my blender pens to outline like leaf veins and then blend the color. I wonder what other childhood memories this colorful card can evoke? Why, a new box of crayons and coloring with the vibrant colors of course.

    1. Or a new box of all the Stampin' Write Markers! I need some that have been "over used", but don't want to buy the whole set. Yikes!

      Thanks Chris!
