MIM #71: bordered sentiments

My friend, Susan, came over to make cards with me yesterday afternoon and brought her Happy Hydrangea stamp set along. She let me borrow it, so I used it to make this card, using this week's this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: bordered sentiments.



I used Papertrey Ink cardstock (rustic white), inks (plum pudding, simply chartreuse and winter wisteria), stamps (TBF #12, Happy Hydrangea, Distressed Stripes) and Echo Park Patterned paper.

To stamp the lighter shades of Winter Wisteria and Simply Chartreuse, I stamped once on the cardstock (or some scratch paper) and then a second time on the card.

Thanks for looking!

    Leigh, this is so gorgeous. There are so many neat details, but I really like is the way you used the Distressed Stripes on the border of the sentiment and the stitching around the card and sentiment panel. I didn't get the striped IP, but it's on my wishlist now!! It really adds an interesting texture to the card front.

    Very pretty card! Love the colour choices and the placement of the flowers. And the simple stripes embossing adds a lot to the card! - Irma

    I loved your card on the In Linkz list, and I'm so glad I clicked on the link because there is so much more detail and it is even more beautiful close up. Love it, especially the stiped IP.
