In the July 2010 Stampin' Success Magazine, a free monthly publication that all Stampin' Up! demonstrators receive, demonstrator Lynn Pratt shared with us some of her beautiful work. I was inspired by the layout of one of her designs and that is where I got my inspiration for today's card.
My card base was Bravo Burgundy cardstock with layers of Basic Gray and Very Vanilla. Using my Fresh Cuts stamp set I stamped several of the flowered vines on the bottom of the Very Vanilla cardstock and then again on the top layer. I used dimensionals for the top layer and just a small piece of Basic Black Satin Ribbon placed diagonally in the corner, and punched three flowers with the Itty Bitty Shapes punch. To make the Thank You stand out I punched the saying with the Modern Label punch and sponged the edges with Basic Bray ink. A small black dot was placed in the middle of each flower for added dimension as well.
For today's card I used the following:
Cardstock: Bravo Burgundy #105123, Basic Gray #121044. Very Vanilla #101650
Ink: Basic Gray #109120, Bravy Burgundy #105214
Stamp Set: Fresh Cuts #111634
Ribbon: Basic Black 5/8" Satin #117285
Punches: Itty Bitty Punch Pack #118309, Modern Label #119849
Accessories: Dimensionals #104430, Sponges #101610
Stamping Tip: When you find a layout you like, don't be afraid to use it over and over again. Change it up with new colors and a different stamp set, add some embellishments and you really have a very different card, without having to do all the work of designing a new layout for each card.
