I made this card as my first post as a DT Member for Cottage Cutz dies. See the post here.
cardstock and patterned paper sizes:
real red cardstock base measures 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2".
Stampin'-Up "I Am Me" striped designer paper layer is 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
embossed so saffron layer is 3 3/8" x 4 5/8"
Stampin'-Up "I Am Me"dotted designer paper is 3 1/8" x 4 3/8"
image panel is 1 7/8" x 3 1/8" and real red layering panel is 2 1/8" x 3 3/8"
The dotted designer paper is placed on an angle for some card interest. Before the image panel was secured, I added some red burlap ribbon and then some red and white bakers twine over that.
Made a mini bow from the same bakers twine and added a red sequin center. Even though I am using ribbon on a masculine card, it's burlap and has a masculine appeal to it. Bakers twine is not feminine or frilly so that's ok also.
On the so saffron embossed panel, I used the Cuttlebug birthday words embossing folder.
For the image panel, I used the round balloon mini die from Cottage Cutz and cut the balloons in real red, so saffron and pool party cardstocks to match the colors in the designer paper. I sponged the edges of the paper with the corresponding inks to give some depth.
The sentiment is from the Stampin'-Up June 2015 Paper Pumpkin set "happy thoughts". I added some red sequins to complete my card.
