15 Minute Project ... for a "Tall and Thin" Challenge

This side-folded, 4 1/4" x 7 1/2" card was created for Sharon's "Tall and Thin" blog challenge. And yes, it's a 15 Minute Project, too! For a closer look, click on the image.

I created the card using white Image Plus card stock and adhered card stock weight designer papers by 'My Mind's Eye.' I wrapped a length of 1/4" brown grosgrain ribbon around the seam and adhered the ends behind the designer card stock.

I stamped my image on a scrap of Image Plus card stock with Palette Hybrid ink in 'Burnt Umber.' Next, I colored my image with Prismacolor 'Premier' pencils, blending with Gamsol and a stump.

Then, I mounted my stamped image using dimensionals on a coordinating piece of designer card stock cut and embossed with the Nestabilities Large Classic rectangle die. I also cut a second rectangle, this time with a scalloped edged using a third color from this collection using a die from the Nestabilities Large Scallop rectangle set.

The entire mat was then mounted to the card base using more dimensionals so the card has a bit of depth; I love seeing shadows on cards!

Finally, I added five Dew Drops just below my stamped image using mini glue dots. And then my timer went off and I was done!
