Borders and Corners Square #1
As you can see from the header on my blog, I love orange and blue.
Supplies Used: Stamps: Papertreyink's Borders and Corners Square, Little Lady, and Faux Ribbon. Cardstock: Shimmery White; Stampin Up Bashful Blue; Ink: Stampin Up Bashful Blue, Always Artichoke, and Pumpkin; SU Artichoke marker; Embelllishments: SU white wide organdy ribbon; pumpkin eyelet; word window punch and corner rounder punch. Tools and Other items: Japanese Screw Punch, Mono Multi Adhesive, paper cutter, pearl accent from Ellen Hutson.
Just so you know, I made the background with stamps -- used the rounded square from Borders and Corners Square at an angle and repeatedly stamped. The blue and pumpkin "ribbon" is faux. Also, this has a layer -- the top of the card is adhered to another shimmery white card. I lined them up before cutting, adhering and punching the rounded corners.
This is beautiful, Joan! I love the colors and the background is amazing!! Lovely card!

ReplyDeleteHi Joan,
ReplyDeleteI saw your card on Nichole's blog with an honorable mention and had to agree how AWESOME it is! I love how you created a designer paper of your own and mirrored the rounded square edges on the card base itself! Fantastic job!
