I spotted a group pic of some cards over on Becky Roberts blog which you can see
here.
First I made my card almost identical to the one I saw in her pic. I was
thinking of using it for my son's graduation invites - first pic. Once I
made it though I decided it would be good to do the girl thing to it -
second pic (used this for May Stamp Club). Even with all the gray and white, I think it turned out
pretty. For the flower I used the Big Blossom punch from
Stampin' Up. I learned
to make it over at
Splitcoast Stampers from their weekly newsletter - third pic.
The scallop petals gave the card so much more character, don't you think? There are about 5
layers of punched flowers crumpled, opened up and joined with a brad.
Then I crumpled them again and inked up the edges. I moved the layers
around a little as I inked them until I was satisfied with the way it
looked. I alternated the pattern paper to add interest to the flower as
well. I used a Clear Stamp set for the sentiment and added some organdy
ribbon (Hobby Lobby). I also used Stampin' Up's Note
die (as well as their card stock). Of course, I had to add Stampin' Up's Champagne Mist over the
whole thing. Don't you just love the shimmery effect? I reworked the
card again and came up with the third card shown as the graduation invite
for my son (minus the glitter). All I did there was turn the card to a
landscape view and add the grad cap and stars with pop dots, a strip of black ribbon and a couple of bling dots to
dress it up a bit. I'm pretty happy with the end result. I may have to rework it again just for fun to see what I can come up with.
