Okay, this definately lacks a WOW factor, but it is a quick use of the Designer Series papers “Au Chocolat” for my Grads & Dads themed Stamp a Stack of Stuff class this month.
I am not a dots and stripes person, but I absolutely love the paisleys and other “flourish” style designs on this “Chocolate Chip” and Vanilla printed papers.
So, the card is half decorative paper and the other half (on the vanilla) is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink and colored very lightly with Creamy Caramel ink.
It definately needed a larger/different embellishment than the simple use of a hodgepodge hardware shown with some taupe grosgrain but my mind was blank at the time.
I had tried to sponge the edges but it looked better “clean” (take my word on that).
I designed this last year and was thinking of passing it off again at my May “Stamp a Stack” but I’ve decided that I won’t be lazy, I’ll come up with another one for tomorrow night!
Here is another “teaser” for my Stamp a Stack this month. This little folio is a dollar store pad (4/$1) attached to a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 scored and cut to hold it in a fold over folio.
I will be sharing samples from my May “Stamp a Stack of Stuff” this Thursday with the “Dads & Grads” theme. Masculine cards are not always easy to think up with the abundance of beautiful floral sets!
I LOVE this happy card! It is Cool Caribbean/Pretty In Pink & Black which works very well together. The background is ”doodles” from “Doodle This” in craft white. All other “doodles” and flowers are from the “Doodle That” set.
