Hello and thank you for viewing my card. This card was made using an older SU! set that I can't remember the name of SU!, Warm Words, and Basic Grey's "Mellow" collection dp.
The main image was stamped on PapterTrey White Cardstock with Adirondack Pitch Black ink and colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Mineral Spirits. I heavily sponged around the edge of the image with SU! Cranberry Crisp, adding line doodles along the edge with a felt tip pen. The image was matted with coordinating Basic Grey "Mellow" collection sage green and timber brown, respecitvely. I "Cuttlebugged" the upper background Basic Grey dp with the Swiss Dots embossing folder, as well as the sage green scalloped border below that. I added a striped coordinating Basic Grey dp from the "Mellow" collection to the bottom half of the card. The sentiment was stamped on PaperTrey White Cardstock with Adirondack Pitch Black ink and then punched with the SU! Small Oval Punch and popped up on Dimensionals, and then sponged with SU! Mellow Moss ink around the edges. I matted the sentiment on a coordinating red from the Basic Grey "Mellow" collection. I anchored the sentiment with a large eyelet. To add interest to the sentiment, I stamped 2 leaves from a PSX stamp with SU! So Saffron and Mellow Moss, and cut them each out and popped them up on Dimensionals.
I finished off the card with a big bow made with Offray 3/4" Sage Green Ribbon.
