Monochromatic Pink for The Card Concept



This week's challenge at The Card Concept was . . .


I wasn't sure the style on this one, as Clean and Simple didn't seem to cover it when I was starting with embossing paste, so I may be somewhere between Clean and Simple and Clean and Layered (the paste could technically be a layer).  I started with a pink card base and used embossing paste and some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to decorate the front of the card.  The key was to get the glitter on while the paste was still wet. 


I created a border around the card by drawing lines around the edges of the card.  I die cut a label and my "hello" sentiment.  I punched holes in the label and the card.  I threaded my label into the card using twine and then tied a bow. 



Supplies Used
Cardstock:  Bazzill and Simon Says from Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit
Pattern Paper:  Basic Grey from Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit
Dies:  Sampler Die from The Stamps of Life; Hello Words Dies from Paper Smooches
Other:  Twine from The Twinery, Stencil from Add a Little Dazzle, Dreamweaver Embossing Paste; Dazzling Diamonds from Stampin' Up
Tools:  We R Memory Keepers Cropadile

  3. This is totally fun & fresh! I love how you attached the sweet 'hello' label to the card - it looks great! Fabulous stencilled snowflakes. The hand-drawn border (wow - perfectly straight!) really defines the main images. Thank you for choosing to share your card with us at the Card Concept Challenge :)
