Hello there! It’s Saturday… and a beautiful fall day. Yesterday was a crazy hectic day – 22 folks here for a meeting & 9 stayed for lunch! And there were a couple gals who arrived an hour early and I wasn’t able to launch my post. Poor planning on my part :O( Anyway… my card today is rather modern, but I decided I really like it. Here it is – so tell me what you think.

The layout is really simple and our theme for our blog hop on Thursday was black, white + color of choice. I happen to really like black & white and kept creating with the same theme. the DSP is from the Perfectly Penciled packet and I die cut the four rectangles with the Stitched Rectangles Dies. Because DSP tends to be lighter weight, I backed each with Basic White – die cut at the same time, then adhered together with the DSP. These were all placed on dimensionals and adhered to a larger panel of Basic White. The large leaf is from Artistic Dies and die cut from Brushed Metallic in gold. I adhered this with dabs of liquid glue directly to the various rectangles. I placed a large acrylic block on top to make certain it adhered well. My card base is an A2 size of Thick Basic White with a layer of Basic Black, then the front panel. To complete the front I added the tiny gold pearls that are a retired product – sorry about that. I think what would look just as good is tiny Pearl Basic Jewels, so recommend that if you want to replicate this card. See the photo below for placement.

For the inside, I used the Artistically Inked stamp set to stamp the sentiment in VersaMark ink then sprinkled with gold embossing powder and heat set. I added two of the gold gems to either side of the sentiment. Again, substitute with Pearl Basic jewels.

For the envelope… more of the same Perfectly Penciled DSP on the envelope trimmed to fit. And the card is ready.

This stamp set – Artistically Inked and it’s coordinating dies Artistic Dies is in the Annual 2022-2023 Catalog – as are the Stitched Rectangle Dies AND the Perfectly Penciled DSP. Gosh, I just realized the very sweet pearls were in the Sale-a-bration catalog and are now retired :O( but Pearls Basic Jewels are a perfect substitute. The entire list of supplies is below.
