Paisleys & Posies... Thankful Grateful Blessed

This was such a great card to make!!  I saw it on Erica Cerwin's Pink Buckaroo blog a little while ago - it was so much fun to work with the Fancy Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper on this card!

Read on to learn all about it!!

We start our card with a Night of Navy card base, then added a layer of Whisper White card stock.  Next, we added a layer of the Fancy Frost Designer Series Paper (DSP) to our card.

Before we actually added this DSP layer to our card, we stamped it with the Paisleys & Posies Stamp Set in Versamark ink, then embossed the stamps with Clear Embossing Powder and our Heat Tool.

Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder  109130  $5.00

Heat Tool  129053  $30.00

Next, we lightly sponged Night of Navy ink on our DSP with our Sponge Daubers - notice how it accents the diagonal stripes of the DSP and doesn't stick to the embossed images.  It's so cool - and something I never would have thought to do!  Thanks so much to Erica Cerwin for this fabulous idea :)

Then, we stamped "Thankful Grateful Blessed" and one of the cute flower medallions (both from the Paisleys & Posies Stamp Set) in Night of Navy ink on another strip of Whisper White card stock,  We die-cut our flower medallion with the coordinating Paisley Framelits.  You can buy the stamp set and framelits separately, or save 10% when you buy the bundle!

Finally, we added a Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine bow around our card and accented our flower medallion with a Calypso Coral Enamel Shape.  And that's the beauty of Stampin' Up products - that color coordination among product lines that helps create simple, beautiful cards with ease!
