The other day I was looking for inspiration and came across a card on page 59 of the July/August 2009 Paper Crafts magazine by designer Teri Anderson. I knew I had CS that was close to the colors she used so I set out to make my version. Ordinarily I would link to another designers blog to show you my inspiration, but since this is from a magazine I would rather just avoid the entire copyright issue and just suggest that you pick up a copy of the magazine yourself.
This is a 3"x6" card made from Riding Hood Red CS. This card uses scraps from several different DSP collections. I covered the entire front with Riding Hood Red Swiss Rockabilly Speciality. I used my Scalloped Edge punch and added a strip of Pretty in Pink CS then layered on two different patterns of Speciality DSP...one from Parisian Breeze and the other from Sweet Slumber. I added some Pretty in Pink 1/2" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon to give some seperation between the two pieces of CS. Then I added the flowers with Glue Dots. The larger flower is from the Pretties Kit and the smaller one if from some silk flowers that I bought at Joann's ETC and disassembled. I added a Pretty in Pink bow using a Glue Dot.
To finish off the card I added a greeting from Oval All. I stamped the image twice...once with white craft ink on Riding Hood Red CS and embossed with Winter White embossing powder and a second time in Riding Hood Red Classic Ink on Whisper White CS. I used the Scallop Oval and Large Oval punches and then layered the images.
