Very often we’ll use texture in the form of an embossing folder or some embellishment.  Patterned paper is a great way to add interest to a card.  And every now and then, it’s perfectly okay to turn your sentiment into the focal point on your card.  That’s exactly what we have going on with this card which features many of the items from the Petals & Paisleys Suite.

Today’s Color Palette

Ready, Set, Cut

Night of Navy: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″

Night of Navy: 5″ x 2 1/2″

Night of Navy: 1 1/8″ x 3 1/8″ for banner

Delightful Dijon: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Petals & Paisleys DSP: 4 7/8″ x 2 3/8″

Very Vanilla:  1″ x 3″ for banner

The Delightful Dijon card stock was run through the Pretty Paisleys Textured Embossing Folder and attached to the Night of Navy card base.  Next the DSP was layered on the Night of Navy card stock and off set on the card front.  For the banner the sentiment from Paisleys & Posies was stamped in Night of Navy ink and punched into a banner with the Banner Triple Punch.  This was attached to the Night of navy layer which was than trimmed by hand to be just slightly larger than the Very Vanilla banner.  The banner was then attached to the card with dimensionals and there you have it… a card without a lot of fuss where the sentiment is the focal point.
