Details for Card Outside:

- Stamp sentiment from Flourishing Phrases in Memento Tuxedo Black; and little flowers from Petal Palette
- Cut out with scalloped circle die, edge it with black marker and adhere over sprigs and leaves with dimensionals
- Punch 3 Vellum leaves with the Leaf Punch, use Tombow glue to adhere them underneath the circle (just put glue on the stem that goes under the circle)

- On your Whisper White mat, using any alignment tool you have (or your naked eye), lay out "so He made you" from Flourishing Phrases; the sun rays from Amazing You; Happy Birthday from Beautiful Bouquet and your die cut words. Once you have everything positioned, remove the cut outs and ink up the stamps and stamp away! I added ellipses after the "you" to lead into "Amazing"; then glue your cut out words where you wanted them.
- Adhere the art piece to the black mat and that to the card base

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mary. I thought it brightened up the card to go along with the front sentiment.
DeleteThis is such a fun card...I love the way you combined sentiments, very clever!! Elegant colors too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, LeAnne. So glad you could stop by. The black and white made me think of what you've been going through for spring!
DeleteLovely card, Karen. I considered doing a black and white card for the hop, then put it on the back burner. Great minds think alike, eh?
ReplyDeleteSo beautifully done, loving the use of vellum! Perfect for our black and white challenge theme at Allsorts, thank you so much for joining us this week!

So striking in black and white. The inside is a beautiful surprise with the sunshiny "you!" Nice play on the sentiment.
