How beautiful is the “Perennial Lavender “DSP that coordinates with the “Perennial Postage” Bundle? The rich green and purple hues in this DSP are absolutely gorgeous! This is my second creation with the new “Perennial Postage” products and I am in love! HERE, is my first post using these fabulous new products.
I will admit some of my inspiration for this card came from Patty Bennett over at Patty Stamps. I “borrowed” the idea of embossing Vellum from one of her recent posts. My card base is Crumb Cake with an embossed layer of Vellum on top which definitely gives the card an interesting look. This particular embossing folder is from the “Basics 3D Embossing Folders” found in the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives. I really like this set of three (3) embossing folders. These folders are not found in any current catalogs, only in the online store. With such a detailed embossing folder, I used an additional piece of white card stock with the Vellum before running through the Cut and Emboss Machine. This “softened” the very detailed embossing of the Vellum so it did not tear or crack.
Firstly, I chose to use Pretty Peacock based on the colors featured in the “Perennial Lavender DSP”. Basically, I chose three pieces of DSP and placed them on a Pretty Peacock layer so that there was “space” between the DSP pattern pieces. Next, I layered the rectangular panel on to the second largest postage die from the “Perennial Postage” Dies. I stamped the greeting in Pretty Peacock and layered onto one of the smaller postage dies from “Perennial Postage” Dies. To add more interest, I added “White Baker’s Twine” behind the greeting panel and mounted to the DSP piece with “Dimensionals”. Lastly, to finish the card, I accented the front with a few of the “Purple Fine Shimmer Gems”. Honestly, this was a very simple card to create!
