Velvet Meadow Make n Take #2

Opulent Oasis Stamp Set + Stylish Shapes Dies + Velvet Meadow 12" x 12" Specialty DSP

Velvet Meadow is offered in the current May - August catalog. This card is make n take #2 from the Velvet Meadow Suite that I sent to my customers for their orders in May.  I love to send kits to my customers when they select me as their demonstrator!!  


This specialty designer series paper is so special, with flocked bits within each of 6 designs.  With paper like this you don't want to over-design your cards.... or the special elements will be lost.


Opulent Oasis Stamp Set + Stylish Shapes Dies + Velvet Meadow 12" x 12" Specialty DSP

I chose to really show off this paper by keeping the card design simple.  Two tone framing of the paper helps the colors to pop!  For this sentiment, I've used the square dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Summer is such a busy time.... Somehow I was the only Blog Hop participant this month.  So I hope you enjoy this tutorial :)

This was really simple.... The entire pack of Artistic Sketched Garden mix and matches beautifully.  Even the flowers on the outside and inside are from the same pack of black and white DSP.  I colored with Stampin' Blends (I love them!) then fussy cut the flowers out.  I love the end result!
