For today's card I thought I would play with the new "Season's of Style" decorative paper. It's suppose to be Christmas paper but I thought I would try to make a birthday card with it. Well, it looks like a holiday birthday card to me. Maybe if I wouldn't have used that image or maybe if I wouldn't have colored the berries in using red!!! LOL Fortunately for me I do need a holiday birthday card so it worked out for me.
The base of my card is Early Espresso. The next layer is Cherry Cobbler. I used Cherry Cobbler ink on the background and was a bit surprised at how dark it looked on the cardstock. I wasn't expecting that at all. It looks more like Early Espresso than it does Cherry Cobbler. Next time I will use VersaMark (if I remember the effect I got this time)!! I do like how it turned out anyway.
The layers are done using Early Espresso and the Season of Style decorative paper. The large Early Espresso piece is cut 3-1/8" x 2-3/4" and the decorative paper was cut 3" x 2-5/8". Then I cut an Early Espresso layer 2" x 2-3/4" and the decorative paper is cut 1-7/8" x 2-5/8". The focal piece is cut 3-1/4" x 1-5/8" on Early Espresso layer. The stamped piece is cut 3-1/8" x 1-1/2". And the words are from the Simply Sketched set and punched out with an oval punch and the scalloped oval for the back layer. Easy enough to make but has a bit of "Christmas" to it, doesn't it?
Thank you for stopping by today,
Wanda
