Something a little bit different ...
January 29, 2008
I was sorting through some patterned papers the other day and came across some scraps of the Basic Grey Infuse paper line. I just adore the colours in this range, so I immediately sat down and made today's card.
The greeting is from the Stampin' Up! Saleabration Set Lots of Thoughts. The Stampin' Up! cardstock colours which match this paper really well are Naturals Ivory, Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose and True Thyme. To give the Regal Rose an aged look, sponge it with Chocolate Chip.
I have created the scallops using the Stampin Up Slit Punch. Just turn it over backwards, push it in as far as it will go and line the half circles up next to each other. You end up with a piece about 1.5" wide which is great for a border or to pop under paper as I have done here. If you want a wider piece of paper that is scalloped, I use the corner rounder, but I prefer these deep scallops. The Slit Punch is only $11.50 as well!
Just a reminder, you can get the stamp set used for this greeting (it's one of 6 in the set), the Stampin' Up! Saleabration Set Lots of Thoughts FREE with any customer order of $100 or more. In fact for every $100 you spend, you get to choose one of the free Saleabration Sets. Check them out in the Saleabration brochure here and then email your order through (or call me on 03 97352946) and you could have your own set just like that!
this is completely gorgeous Claire - I never would have thought to use this stamp on that style of card but you make it work so well :D
