I Appreciate You with Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper

The card I’m sharing with you today combines three of my favorite things – gorgeous Designer Series Paper, a beautiful In Color and a perfect sentiment. The simple design features 5 base layers and two additional layers for the sentiment, and every layer is important to the overall appeal of the card. Here’s my card:

I love Designer Series Papers, but I always hold a special place in my heart for brilliant black-and-white papers. When Stampin’ Up! introduced the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper in March’s Online Exclusives launch, I was immediately in love. The papers are PERFECT on their own, but they can easily be transformed with a little ink. Here’s a look at the colors and textures in the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper:

Two of the pages in this must-have pack showcase tiny, intricate leaves in the same design – one has a black background with white leaves (bottom, left of the product showcase above) and one has a white background with black leaves (fifth on the bottom row of the product showcase above). I added Summer Splash to the white design with a Blending Brush. Here’s a closer look:

The card is a non-standard size – I cut 1/4″ off the side of the card (because I can), yielding a 4″ x 11″ card base (scored at 5-1/2″). Here are the measurements for the multiple layers on my card (starting with the base and working up to the sentiment):

• Basic Black – 4″ x 11″ (scored at 5-1/2″)
• Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper – 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″
• Stampin’ Dimensionals
• Summer Splash – 3″ x 4-1/2″
• Basic Black – 2-7/8″ x 4-3/8″
• Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper – 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″
• Stampin’ Dimensionals
• Summer Splash – 2-1/2″ x 1/2″
• Basic Black – 2-1/2″ x 1/2″

The perfect sentiment is pulled from the Tags of Thanks stamp set, part of the new Tags of Thanks Bundle. Here’s a look at this new bundle, which should be on your wish list (if it isn’t already there):
