Design Team Time for The Card Concept (#231) Inspiration Board for theme, elements and colors for a clean and layered Greeting card.
Design choices influenced by Color Dare (#727) for shades of Green (Shaded Spruce and Lost Lagoon) and two additional colors: Cherry Cobbler and Pebbled Path and Inkspirational (#380) for Christmas Florals and Greenery.
I selected the current sketch suggested by Retro Rubber (#284) selecting the Brightest Glow (circa 2022) stamp set.
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Shaded Spruce cardstock.
- Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Shaded Spruce & Gold Plaid patterned piece of paper from the retired Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.
- Diagonal Strip: (1½” x 6⅝”) Brushed Gold cardstock (retired but still in my collection) dry-embossed with the retired Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folder.
- Accent Mat – Tag: (3” x 4¼”) Pebbled Path cardstock (retired but still in my collection) die-cut with the Double Ribbon Tag die from the retired Designer Tags Dies set.
- Shape – Oval: (2½” x 3½”) Wood patterned piece of paper from the retired Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper pack die-cut with the Scroll Edged Oval die from the retired Tasteful Labels Dies set.
- Holiday Greenery: Shaded Spruce, Lost Lagoon and Cherry Cobbler cardstock scraps die-cut with the two of the Greenery dies and the Berry die from the retired Magical Meadows Dies set.
- Sentiment Label: Cherry Cobbler cardstock scrap die-cut with the Label die from the Fern & Flora Dies set, an On-Line Exclusive product.
- The sentiment, to you and your this Christmas, from the retired Brightest Glow stamp set (circa 2022) was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with retired White Embossing Powder.
All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch. Gold Satin Edged Ribbon (retired) was threaded through the Tag die and the Sentiment Label was popped up with Dimensionals.
A delightful country fresh holiday card. I am looking forward to seeing how you are inspired by the Card Concept Mood Board this month.
