F or this weeks weekend inspiration I want to share a card using Beautifully Penned 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. This paper you can receive FREE when you place a order for $50 between now and September 30. Isn’t black and white so classic? I love the elegant look of black and white. This paper has a coordinating bundle Hand-Penned Petals. Don’t forget to check it out. I used Happy Birthday as a sentiment but really you could use any occasion you need.
Project Recipe
I started with a piece of 4“ x 5 1/4” piece of patterned paper then I put a piece of coordinating paper cut at a diagonal and placed over the first piece of patterned paper. Now you can see both patterns. I really like the look of the diagonal cut it definitely gives some interest. Of course my card is in black-and-white but you could use any pattern that you love. I took another piece of the coordinating paper and cut a flower with the Layering Circle Dies. The scalloped circle die I cut from Basic Black Cardstock. I think the scallop gives a nice touch to the card. I did add some ribbon to the card which adds that extra touch of texture that I really like. The ribbon is Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon I love the extra shimmer it has and adds to the overall effect. Then I stamped my sentiment in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and used the Stitched Rectangles Dies. If you wanted to add a little more shimmer you could add Wink Of Stella to the flower petals. I hope you enjoy recreating using this layout. Don’t forget to post your creations on my Show & Tell post that’s on my Facebook page every Sunday.
