Colored Prominent Paisley Cards
The Paisleys & Posies Stamp-of-the-Month class kit includes 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs). Today's pair of cards has the same basic layout with two different featured colors. I love the way the beautiful large paisley is spotlighted against the subtle paisley background patterns. Let's take a closer look at the details…
I forget who I CASEd this from…was it you? Let me know!
Background Basics—The lovely subtle background starts with a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Mint Macaron card stock, randomly stamped with lots of Paisleys & Posies images in Mint Macaron ink.
Some TIPS:
- Start by stamping larger images first, then add medium images and fill in with the smallest images.
- Be sure to stamp off the edge of the card stock, so it looks like it's cut from a sheet of paper.
The layer is adhered to a Very Vanilla card base.
Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Paisleys & Posies greeting in Memento Black Ink at the bottom of a 2-5/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Mint Macaron, then layered it onto a 2-3/4" x 4" Copper Foil mat. Oooh! That metallic really highlights that layer! It's popped up with Dimensionals onto the card front.
Colored Paisley—I stamped the largest Paisleys & Posies image in Memento Black Ink onto a 2" x 2-5/8" piece of Very Vanilla, then colored it in using Classic Inks and Blender Pens. I used Mint Macaron, Rich Razzleberry, Cajun Craze & Night of Navy colors.
Copper accents—I added two small Copper Foil die-cut accents that were created with the coordinating Paisleys Thinlits dies. Those tiny pieces make all the difference! Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere them. This layer is adhered to a 2-1/8" x 2-3/4" Rich Razzleberry mat, then popped up with more Dimensionals.
Two Cool—The second card from the pair uses the same basic layout in a Cajun Craze color.
The background stamping is done with Cajun Craze ink on the same color card stock.
Paisley Focal Point—I used the same colors of ink to color in the paisley and this one is matted on a piece of Mint Macaron. So pretty!
Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Paisleys & Posies stamp set and Paisleys Framelits together in a bundle to save 10% off the cost of purchasing them separately.
