I made this card set for the Try a New Technique challenge. We were to use 1 stamp set + 1 color combo + 1 background stamp + 1 sentiment stamp set. Sorry for the poor picture, I wanted to upload tonight but lighting was horrible.
I used Carte Postale for my set, my color combination was chocolate chip, ruby red, and creamy caramel, my background stamp was Linen, and my sentiment stamp set was Fancy Flexible Phrases (kinda cheating).
Now, Beth said you didn't HAVE to make 4x4 sized cards but that got me thinking that it might be nice to try a different size of card for a change. Then, Beth mentioned that you could put your gift set of 4 cards in a tote (made in the TLC102 - which I didn't get a chance to make). So, I remembered this absolutely adorable "purse" that janarah made for VSN and thought I could put the cards in it.
Well, I did some measuring and the card fronts ended up beign 6" x 2 3/4". I even used ribbon AND some hodgepodge hardware on all 4 cards -- not something I do very often!!!
I really like how this set turned out. Thanks Beth for pushing me to try new stuff !!
Again, sorry for the really poor photo.
