And with a "simple" (simple for me - LOL) design, you get to see the paper shine!!
GOLDEN HONEY SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER
Item 152311| FREE w/$50 Purch.
The "specialty" of this collection of paper is the Gold Foil accents throughout. The flip side of the design has a wonderful black & white images that you can color and play with; or just leave "as is."
I picked 4 "pop" accents colors to sit against a Basic Black 4-1/4" x 11" (score at 5-1/2") card base.
The colors are Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, and Poppy Parade.
I used the Layering Circle Dies (the one closest to 2" diameter) to cut a circle out of the designer paper of choice; and then a scallop circle next size up from the accent color to layer behind the cut out circle. Then I pulled out a "softer" Stampin' Blend color to color the cutout circle of DSP. So, for example, in this case, I colored the entire cutout circle with a Light Purple Posey Stampin' Blend marker; then I came back in and colored the little flowers with a Light Highland Heather Stampin' Blend, and the little stripes in the bees with a Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend. It makes that one piece of the DSP "pop" from the rest of the background. Fun!!
The main piece of DSP is then SNAIL'd to the accent background mat, wrapped in a coordinating ribbon, and then to the card front; and then I popped the layered circle over the cutout opening using dimensionals. It's just that easy!!
I stamped the bees on Shimmery White cardstock, colored the little stripes in their bodies, and added Clear Wink of Stella to their wings. These little guys just "shimmer"!! They are popped with dimensionals on the popped circle. All of the sentiments you see on these card designs are stamped and "fussy cut" in some fashion, except for this Granny Apple Green card. I punched this sentiment out with the 1-1/8" Scallop Circle Punch.
A pretty bow; and some coordinating Glitter Enamel Dots, and these sweet little cards are set to go!!
This one got the Champagne Rhinestone treatment -- LOL 😉
The Stampin' Blend used on the background of the circle is Light Calypso Coral.
I Love to hear from you. Leave your questions or comments below!!
