Hello and thank you for viewing my card. This card was created using a newly released stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps called "Designer Garden". It is a set of 28 stamps with endless possibilities and so much fun to use!
To begin the card, I chose the color pallette from the ATD "Story of Us" designer paper collection. The left side of the background was Cuttlebugged with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. The main focal image was stamped on PaperTrey's gorgeous white cardstock, using SU! Sahara Sand & Bashful Blue, and Adirondack Pitch Black inks. The stamped image was matted on coordinated cream and black cardstock. The sentiment "Friendship" was stamped with Adirondack Pitch Black onto coordinating pale blue cardstock, then punched with a SU! large oval punch. I paper pierced along the edge of the black matting leading to 2 square light blue rhinestone brads. The stacked ribbon was made with a cream satin 7/8" wide and a black & white gingham ribbon. I dotted around the sentiment and focal image halfway with a black gel pen.

Very pretty card! Love the split background, paper piercing, brads and double ribbon detail. Pretty stamp set too.
