This main panel stamp is from Heartfelt Creations. Since it was such a large stamp, I wanted to make it the focal point of the outside of the card. The top of the white panel is ornare pierced using one of the new Nestability "Pierceabiity" stencils. I accented the flourish with pearlescent chalk. I had stamped on white Beckette Expressions cardstock, but then didn't care for the starkness against the DP - so I spritzed "old lace" Tattered Angels onto the white which helped tone it down. The flourish dots were 'dotted' with Prismacolor marker in Tea Green. The prima's are hydrangea leaves - oops! I thought they were Dogwoods, until I looked at the canister more closely. I lightly brushed each one with Shimmerz in Candlelight and then used Hero Arts rhinestones in the centers. I used a Martha Stewart punch on the bottom of the panels. Since the outside stamp was so gorgeous, I wasn't sure what to stamp on the inside and then found this Irish Blessing stamp from DRS Designs. The Happy Easter is from a set by High Hopes. This gorgeous designer paper is by Hot off the Press - Joy's Vintage Papers. I'd like to find wallpaper like this! The card ultimately turned into an odd size - 6x9... so I think I'll make a cardstock gift box instead of an envelope.
Hope it Made You Smile. Thanks for Looking
