Creating a Simply Beautiful Card Using Stampin'Up! By the Bay Designer Series Paper
March 21, 2023
Today we're Creating a Simply Beautiful Card Using Stampin'Up! By the Bay Designer Series Paper. This set of 48 sheets with 12 unique designs & 4 of each. One side of each paper is embedded with a metallic or shiny clear portions of the designs.
Here's a quick look at the papers...
And here's today's card...
and a little closer look at some of the details...
You'll see this design doesn't include the embedded metallic...it reminded me of a beach scene... with the water in the foreground and the sky above....
By simply adding the seaguls (from On the Ocean) your mind is suddenly picturing the beach scene...right?
Then we added the gorgeous scripty greeting 'Thinking of You' (Go To Greetings) in gold embossing!
We chose the Night of Navy card base that makes the navy 'swish' on the paper just pop. And we added narrow side panels of gold foil to coordinate with the gold embossing.
By adding 3 clear rhinestones we can add some pizzazz to liven up our 'scene' without drawing your attention away.
So a Simply Beautiful card that is beautifully 'simple!'
Stop back Thursday and see what we did with another design from the DSP pack!
