To Border or Not to Border

I combined two challenges for this card. One for the colors and the other a sketch. Pool Party, Starry Sky and Pumpkin Pie are the colors set by Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #399.  In Freshly Made Sketches #556 Amy provided a CAS sketch.

Sometimes a card just doesn't come together like you think it should, My first try with this card just didn't look right. I was ready to scrap it and then decided to cut the card front down and add some layers. Voila! Much better! 

A two inch strip of Starry Sky paper from  Butterfly Kisses DSP was layered on the card front. Starry Sky Baker's Twine was tied around the card front. The card front was layered on Pumpkin Pie card that was adhered to a thick white card base.

I created a floating circle using the required colors. White Summer Shadow die cuts were adhered to the circle. The circled was added to the card front with dimensionals.

The sentiment from Charming Sentiments was stamped with Starry Sky ink.

Below is my original card.

Thanks for looking at my card. Check out the other cards in these challenges.
Happy Stamping!

  1. Oh this is lovely and although the original is good it really pops with that extra bit of orange in the layer. Thanks for playing along with us and our colours at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
