Hi Stamping Friends!
I couldn't wait to show you the cards I just created for my Best of Greetings Club Kit this month. I love this set—you can never have too many sentiments!
My first set of two cool cards are sympathy cards and I used some of the images from sets that have already been released in the Best of 25 Years Collection.
I used the beautifully soft color combination of Very Vanilla, Island Indigo and Pistachio Pudding that I found in the Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper.
I adore how this focal point turned out! I stamped the sentiment in Island Indigo onto Very Vanilla card stock, then die-cut it with the new Deco Labels Collection Framelits.
Next, I used the daisies silhouette image from Best of Flowers to stamp twice along the bottom without re-inking.
A die-cut another Island Indigo layer with the same Deco Labels dies, then texture embossed that layer with the Fancy Fan Folder.
A few Pearl Jewel accents give it a touch of elegance.
I decorated the border with a 5-1/2" x 3/4" strip of the Venetian Romance DSP layered onto a 5-1/2" x 1" strip of Island Indigo. Under that is a layer of Pistachio Pudding card stock that's been die-cut with the Adorning Accents Edgelits.
The card is finished with Very Vanilla Seam Binding wrapped around the card front, then tied and trimmed.
Check out the gorgeous patterns in the Venetian Romance DSP pack. Click to enlarge.
I flipped the strip of Venetian Romance paper over for the color combo on this version. It's a pretty, marbled pattern that adds Tangerine Tango and Crisp Cantaloupe to the colors used in the card above.
I brought back one of the butterflies from the Best of Butterflies set for the focal piece on this one. The wings are colored in with markers. I think I might have to go back and add some Dazzling Diamonds to give it that extra pizzazz!
