Floral Shaped Card

The challenge on Penny Black Saturday Challenge today is to make a 'shaped' card.  I thought it was a great opportunity to use some neglected dies.

 I used Penny Black's Collage of Wishes 40-385 stamp on watercolor paper and Tim Holtz distress inks to watercolor the image.  

For the card, I used some ivory textured card stock, and the Spellbinders Decorative Elements die # S5-101.  I folded a piece of the card stock, and placed the die about a fourth of an inch over the fold so that the left edge would not cut out of the card, leaving the left seam intact.  I then cut the same die from gold card stock, cutting it fully this time, and layered this directly over the folded card, hiding the fold.  I then cut another one of the layers of the die from the ivory card stock and attached it.  


I cut my stamped panel out and attached it with foam tape to the card front, giving it dimension and interest.

Some sparkling crystals from Studio Katia finish off my card.

Inside:

I sponged the inside lightly, and stamped Penny Black's stamp Playful (51-205) lightly in pink.

I am adding my card to these challenges:
