Here is My Card:
I've been meaning to create some all occasion cards or other projects with my January 2024 Paper Pumpkin (PP) kit but my mojo just wasn't working enough to actually get started. So, when I came across this week's Freshly Made Sketch challenge that was all I needed to get inspired. I loved the fact that I could use any shape I wanted to create the focal point, I wasn't limited to something oval.
My card design evolved from both the sketch and the little postage square focal point that had been hanging around on my desk for a week or two. It was perfect for tucking some of the leaves and flower images from the Paper Pumpkin kit behind.
It started with a standard A2 size Whisper White cardstock base, followed by a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" piece of Blackberry Bliss.I cut one of the PP card bases in half for the dsp mat and then cut the 4" x 5 1/4" mat on an angle to form half of the card front layer. I used a second 4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White card stock piece for the bottom half of the front mat. Before layering the two pieces of the mat, I embossed the full white piece with the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder call. The dimension this embossing folder brings to the mat is so wonderful, I simply love the effect!
