300 Inspiration Challenges! What a milestone! And such a colorful site to choose for this occasion. I love all the color and pattern but I was really struck by the wonderful color combo (and patterns) in Terra Cotta Pineapple.
For my card, I colored the wonderful image from [B]Our Daily Bread designs and cut it out. It's attached to a Scrolly Border which was also colored and die cut w/ a Long Rectangle that I resized to make shorter. The green card stock was embossed w/ a journal folder and added some raised dots w/ a black glaze pen.
The very colorful dp is some I've had in my stash for a while. The paper bow was made from some Twistel (tightly wrapped paper) that I unwrapped before tying it in a bow. I used a 1/2 inch circle punch for my Faux Brad made from the same dp. The finished card measures 5 x 6.5 (A7). [Note about lining up the sentiment w/ the embossing folder. I figured out where the image panel would go, then stamped the greeting on the green c/s. Then I placed the green c/s in the embossing folder and lined it up. It's much easier to align the folder w/ the stamped image than vice versa.)
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
