I’ve been having fun lately playing around with different styles of cards. Some are simple, some more complex, a lot are stamped but I’ve also been giving rub-ons a whirl. It is a challenge to step out of your usual “box” and try something different. This card uses no stamping at all. I was inspired by the fun stripes of this paper to make a fun ribbon border. I love the fresh spring look.
Daisy Hi
I love this fun Pheobe paper by Basic Grey. I just love all the colors and designs and movement of it. To not take away from the paper, I kept the overall design simple. The paper was adhered to a top hinged 4.25″ x 5″ card base. I cut a piece of adhesive sheet to size and then adhered one side to the patterned paper. After removing the top paper from the adhesive, I layered on fun coordinating ribbons until the adhesive was all covered up. I then, carefully trimmed away excess ribbon from the edges of the paper. Because the adhesive is so sticky, the edges are fine finished that way. I added a fun little “Hi “sentiment from Basic Grey Wholy Cow rub-ons. I added my very favorite Prima flower from the Martinique Collection…I just love that celery center and attached it to the card with a silver button brad from K & Company. Quick, easy and so much fun! Paper & Rub-ons were purchased from Jacksonbelle and brown velvet ribbon, dotted celery ribbon & stitched Olive ribbon from Starlitstudio.
