Hello and welcome back! I got my first big order from the new mini and SAB catalogs yesterday so I decided to use the Slim Card Dies to make a card for someone in my church choir who recently had surgery.
I used the die to cut the front panel from both Calypso Coral and Pale Papaya, then inlaid some of the pieces. Eventually, I'll make another card from what is left over using the Pale Papaya base. I think this will take some experimenting to feel comfortable with. Once the inner pieces are out, the remaining border piece is very floppy and hard to work with. I thought about using an adhesive sheet but decided against it. Maybe next time...
I tied some Just Jade gingham ribbon around the card front before adding the sentiment but thought it still needed something more. Iridescent Rhinestones to the rescue! The largest ones fit perfectly.
The color combination for this card came from the challenge at The Paper Players and I'm also entering it in the Designer's Choice challenge at SUO Challenges.
Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

ReplyDeleteCindi, this is such a clever card and I love the colors. Thank you so much for joining us at SUOChallenges.com and we look forward to having you back again tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI salute your patience for doing the inlay on that die! I've done smaller images (like fancy butterflies) and it seems to take forever :) The results here are stellar though, great use of the Paper Players colors. Thanks for playing along with us at SUO Challenges, hope to see you in the gallery for our next challenge starting today!
