I’ve been itching to cut into the gorgeous panel of hibiscuses in the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper. Now that we have made it through Valentine’s Day (I hope your day was wonderful!), I have the perfect opportunity. The sketch challenge that kicks off this week at FabFriday gave me great inspiration for a simple, layered card. Here’s my card:
And here’s the banner for the FabFriday challenge that inspired my card:
- Seriously the Best. The “hello friend” sentiment on the front of my card is seriously the best – no, seriously – it’s from Seriously the Best. I love the font used for this great variety of sentiments – so many great words for the front of so many cards. Here’s a look at the Seriously the Best stamp set:
The set is perfectly wonderful on its own, but it also coordinates with a lovely project kit. Here’s a look at how this stamp set plays with the Seriously the Best Project Kit:
- Tropical Oasis. The sentiment is stamped on Old Olive cardstock and cropped with Layering Circles Dies. I layered a larger circle (also with the Layering Circles Dies) of Vellum Cardstock beneath the circle for an added layer and a soft peek-through to the gorgeous Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper behind it. Here’s a closer look at the layering on this card:
And here’s a closer look at the patterns and colors in the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper:

- Color Combination. During another time of year, this mix of Real Red and Old Olive would make for a beautiful Christmas card. With gorgeous flowers and palm fronds, though, these colors take on a gorgeous, Summer feel. If you want to stay inspired my this mix of Real Red, Old Olive and Basic Black all year, please save this:
Stamp Sets: Seriously the Best Papers: Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper, Basic Black, Old Olive, Real Red, Vellum Cardstock Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Accessories: Layering Circles Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals
I hope you’ll pop over to the FabFriday challenge blog to see the cards by the design team members and to play along with this week’s challenge.
Thanks for stopping by today!
