Regal Thanks

Playing along with this week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger, Some Royal Fun. Isn't this the cutest trigger pic?


I immediately knew I wanted to mimic those fun little flags, as well as the black doodle-style accents - and of course the jewels!


I stamped the black flourish images onto light blue cardstock, then added a few accents with a white gel pen. However, it all seemed a little too busy, so I added a layer of velum to tone things down. (Velum is really hard to photograph, btw!) Next I rounded the edges, then diecut the banner and its outline frame. A sentiment in a whimsical script and some subtle bling was all it needed! 

This card also qualifies for the CAS-ual Fridays CFC3 Challenge: to use bling on a Clean And Simple card:


Be sure to head over and check out both of these challenges!

Card Supplies:
Stamps: Amy Butler (flourish), Hero Arts "All Occasion Messages" (sentiment); Ink: black pigment; Accessories: Cricut / Design Studio / Mother's Day 2010 cartridge, Signo white gel pen, vellum, small corner rounder punch, adhesive rhinestones, foam adhesive

  8. This card is so yummy, Lisa!! Love your play with patterns and subtle colors!! Beautiful take of the CAS card! Thanks for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays! PS: As for the wood-like materials on my card, it 's a raffia paper ribbon and I curled it up with toothpick as it is very pliable!
