For my project I decided to challenge myself to create a card using products from the Beautiful Gallery Suite and use the challenge colours more gently, in keeping with the vintage feel of this suite. I also wanted to use the Designer Series Paper that coordinates with the suite and found the perfect piece.

The card base is Gray Granite as is the frame. The designer Series Paper was cut as a mat layer and glued to the card front. I stamped the detailed image repeatedly on the frame once die cut. I love the texture and depth this gave to the frame. I cut a piece of Fluid 100 card stock to fit inside the frame and used a Blending Brush anD Coastal Cabana Ink to gently colour it before gluing to the frame. The frame was adhered to the top of the DSP layer using Dimensionals.

I stamped the floral image in Gray Granite ink on Fluid 100 card stock and coloured it using a Water Painter and Gray Granite, Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger ink. I then Die cut it along with four of the small detailed die cuts in Gray Granite card stock.

I tied a length of the Basic Beige Ribbon in a bow and adhered it to the bottom right of the frame using GlueDots™. I then adhered the smaller die cut pieces to the back of the floral piece using glue. I then adhered the floral piece to the top of the bow using Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Gray Granite ink on Fluid 100 card stock. I then cut it down to size using scissors and adhered to the card front using Dimensionals. Then added three of the Holographic Resin Dots around the sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you join us for this challenge! Have a great week.
