This 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" top-folded card was created for Allison's "Basic Grey" blog challenge ... and also to send to my sweet B-in-L, John, for his 25th 29th 35th 43rd 21st b-day!
I fudged and fussed and refudged and refussed with this card all day ... really! I kept trying to add embellies, or ribbons, brads, dew drops, or charms ... something, anything to give this card a little more ... stuph.
In the end, I gave up decided that the designer paper was busy enough and that maybe this card really didn't need anything else ... at least not anything that I had hangin' around!
So long as you don't try to add any 'stuph' to this card, you'll have one of the fastest 15 Minute Projects ... ever!
I used Bazzill Basics for my card base and added a square of Basic Grey's "Cashmire" paper from the "Urban Couture" collection.
I stamped my image on Xerox 110# card stock with Palette Hybrid ink and colored in the 'A' with a Copic marker (YG95).
I used an oval Classic Nestie to cut out the image and created the scallop edge with an oval Petite Scallop Nestie using a scrap of the textured card stock.
Ingredients:
~Textured Card Stock: Bazzill Basics
~White Card Stock: Xerox 110#
~Designer Paper: "Cashmire" from Basic Grey's "Urban Couture" collection
~Stamp: "Age Takes it's Toll" (River City Rubber)
~Ink: Palette Hybrid (Burnt Umber)
~Color Medium: Copic Marker (YG95)
~Adhesive: Tape Runner (Tombow Mono)
~Tools: Die Cut Machine (Provo Craft); Nestabilities Dies (Spellbinders); Scor-It Board (Hammond)
Soooo, whaddya thin' ... too plain and boring? Don't worry, you can tell me the truth, I can take it: I'll only cry a little.
Thanks for sharing your day with me!
~Hugs, Deb
