Gosh friends, what a crazy day. The State Basketball Tournament starts tomorrow and I am ecpecting company. Bet you can guess how I spent most of my day. But, as the day wore on, I knew that I needed to stop long enough to create a catd for my blog and to prepare dinner. In my fantasy life I have a cook and a housecleaner – how's that for dreaming!
On to my card. I promised quick & simple and this card is definitely both. Take a look.
The Sweet Sorbet dsp is perfect for an Easter card. It has many of the delicious pastel colors that we associate with the Holiday. After stamping the tulips twice with Black Staz On ink, I used a Blender Pen with Crisp Cantaloupe, Summer Starfruit, Pistachio Pudding & Gumball Green Ink Pads. I like the swish of color and it fits perfectly with the dsp.
Because it is such a simple card, I put a coordinating liner in the envelope. The Envelope Liner Framelits make quick work of the liner. In order to save dsp, I don't cut the full liner. Add some snail, and my liner is ready to go in the envelope.
I thin stip of Basic Black cardstock adds just the touch I needed to create a nice border for the dsp. And, the best part is that I used a scrap that I had been hanging on too for just such an ccassion.
You may wonder why my greeting is not in the location that the stamp shows. I did some engineering by cutting the tulips and the sentiment apart. I placed the tulips on one side of my block and the sentiment on the other side.
And the other side.
Now I can use the tulips and the sentiment independent from one another.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
Hugs,
Ginger
STAMPIN' UP! SUPPLIES USED:
I really like this card! It is simple but quite lovely! It is very eye catching! I will try an easter card with the sorbet! You even gave me an idea for St. Patrick’s day cards! Thank you!
I like this card, I like the colors you chose and I like the set up of the card. I will have to try this. Thanks for all the ideas and tutorials on how to do this card. Very helpful.
Elegant! This card has such a beautiful presence, I love everything about it! Tulips are my favorite flower so this struck a chord with me. Awesome!
Which is the best – the taste of sweet sorbet or the fragrance of the sweet tulips? Either way they make one yummy card! I can’t believe how perfect the spots on the DP go with the tulips and that black strip just pulls it all together! Oh how I wish I had lots of extra cash so I could take advantage of all the fun sale-a-bration sets. Maybe I can beg, borrow, or steal a few pieces of this paper from some of my friends so I can produce some great projects! This card is just perfect the way it is….I just really love it. I am usually a bright red or bright yellow tulip lover but these are soft and pretty. If I buy this stamp I would be cutting the stamp’s sentiment off too so I could use the tulips for birthdays etc. Sorry, to ramble Ginger, I just can’t say enough how much I love this card!
