My studio is finally finished at the new house and the cabinets are completely installed. Well, to be honest, I still have a couple boxes sitting here to unload, but I have been working in it a few weeks now and am getting used to the layout and where I’ve put everything. One thing I did was put my stamp set cases in drawers next to me. One drawer holds all the current Annual Catalog stamp sets…and the one below holds the Holiday Catalog…along with the current embellishments. Since the Holiday Catalog came out, I’ve been pretty much ignoring the Annual catalog. My goal was to start using them again…along with the Designer Paper I’ve been hoarding. I LOVE the gemstone paper in Naturally Eclectic…and finally cut into it for this card! Of course, I had to get the You’re Priceless stamp set that went along with it!
Here are the details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Tranquil Tide cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- On the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White, the gemstone image was stamped randomly with Soft Sky Ink across the top half. Then a 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Naturally Eclectic DSP was added to the bottom.
- A piece of Island Indigo Ombre Ribbon hides the seam (and looks more like Tranquil Tide, don’t you think?)
- The greeting from You’re Priceless was stamped with Night of Navy Ink on Soft Sky cardstock, then punched with the Everyday Label Punch. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two gem backgrounds were stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide Inks, then on top with Night of Navy Ink for the outline image. They were cut out by hand and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The gemstones were colored with a little Wink of Stella to make them shimmer!
