Mojo Monday 111--A Cottage Wall Card

Yaayyy! I finally got the chance to use my Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper! I’ve been wanting to do so ever since I received it in the Pals Paper Swap…and just couldn’t find the right card for it. But this week’s Mojo Monday Challenge was the perfect opportunity for me to use it.

 

Here’s the sketch.

 

Here’s what I did:

 

•I started with a 5-1/2” x 4-1/4” base of Orchid Opulence cardstock.

 

•Following the sketch, I cut the coordinating “Floral” Rich Razzleberry and Orchid Opulence papers from the Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper in a 2 to 1 ratio.

 

•I stamped the “Snowflake/Floral” stamp from the Sweet Season Stamp Set in Rich Razzleberry onto Whisper White cardstock and punched it out with my Scallop Circle Punch—a perfect fit! Gina’s Tip: I wasn’t sure if the stamp was a snowflake or a flower, but I loved the way the curves of the stamp echoed the floral curves in the DSP.

 

•I ran a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock through my Big Shot Die-Cut Machine using the “Woodgrain” Texturz Plate and adhered my stamp to it.

 

•Then I cut a piece of Rich Razzleberry polka dot grosgrain ribbon and placed it between the two “Floral” pieces of paper. Using my craft knife, I poked a small hole in the Orchid Opulence DSP and added a Filigree Designer Brad. Now, I was ready to adhere everything to the base of the card.

 

•Lastly, I stamped my sentiment from the Razzle Dazzle Stamp Set in Rich Razzleberry onto Whisper White and punched it out with my Modern Label Punch.

 

For all of you purple fans out there, the Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper is really stunning!
