The card base is a cream square card measuring approximately 10cm x 10cm. I chose one with an elegant edge because I felt it suited the stamp. The stamp is from the Elementary Elegance set (one of the Sale-a-bration sets) from Stampin' Up - I love this set so much and I know I will use it a lot.
I stamped it on to a strip of cream card using Night of Navy ink and them punched the centre out with the Curly Label punch. I was going to back it with a contrasting colour, but I really like the cream and navy combination. I edged the strip the navy card and adhered it to the card base. I had to trim the edge to get the fancy edge. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the same set as the frame. Then I added some grosgrain ribbon, made a little bow and then finished it off with a gem.
This is one of my all time favourite cards and I think I will have to replicate it soon, and maybe try a different colourway.
I am really loving my Stampin' Up products, I love the way everything matches which makes life so much easier and the stamps are so beautiful.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care.

Jane will be thrilled to bits with this Michelle! I love this set too and I love the aperture card you've made with it - and in this fab colourway too. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteJane IS thrilled to bits with this, Michelle. As an SU lover I discected every piece (not literally!) to see how you'd put it together, and love the navy colour scheme (the ribbon is gorgeous, too!) Thankyou so much. xx
