Today’s card I created for this week’s CASology
challenge,
Our cue card / challenge at CASology this week
is "Congratulations".
I wanted to create a soft and elegant look for
this wedding day congratulations card,
I ended up choosing Basic Gray, White Linen and Silver
for today’s colour combination.
I started today’s project by making an A2 top
folding card out of Basic Gray cardstock,
Using my We R Memory Keepers Trim & Score
Board to do all my trimming and paper scoring.
Using My Favorite Things Die-Namics Blueprints die
set 23, I die cut a banner for my sentiment out of Trophee Board White Linen
cardstock, I then stamped my banner using the Best Birds Stamp Set from Stampin’
Up!, stamping the word congratulations in Smoky Slate ink.
Next I used the My Favorite Things Die-Namics
Blueprints die set 22, I then die cut a thin strip of Silver Glimmer Paper to
sit under my banner, for the last of the die cutting I used the Hollyhocks
die from Impression Obsession
to die cut some flowers out of Trophee Board White Linen cardstock.
to die cut some flowers out of Trophee Board White Linen cardstock.
To add a bit of interest to the card, and to help the die cut elements stand out from the card base I adhered a small messy bundle of Silver Metallic Thread under all the die cut pieces, for my last finishing touch to the card I also added a few Pearl Basic jewels around the focal area.
Another quick and easy card to make - three die cuts, thread and some pearls!
I hope you enjoyed this CAS (clean and simple) congratulations card.
