When inspiration seems "no where to be found", I go to my computer files where I keep sketches and cards that REALLY inspired me when I put them there and find something that "speaks" to me. I found a Papyrus card tucked away for a long while that I really liked, so I decided to CASE it:)!! The Papyrus card was very similar, with colored strips, mixed with silver and black strips and a vellum stamped sentiment over the strips...I had found my inspiration:)...
I adhered the strips to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of thinner card stock(to avoid too much weight). I stamped, embossed, wrapped, scored, folded and adhered the vellum to the card and adhered the whole panel to a white card. Took me a while to find a lengthy sentiment, in this case scripture, to fit the space, but thought it a perfect fit!! Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa
That scripture verse really works well with your stripes! Great design, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia! The stamp is pretty old, but I did find a bunch of them on ebay...here's a link to them:

Sweet card. Great idea. I hate to throw away ANY card stock, and think your idea is wonderful. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to use all my scrap pieces of cardstock I have laying around! Your card looks awesome! I like how you put the sentiment on the vellum piece wrapped around the card. Cool!
