Day 360 - Audrey's Style


Today's challenge at 365 Cards is to make a card using Audrey's style (stamps and/or bold). I used orange as my bold color and one that I hardly ever use.  This week's challenge at Practical Scrappers is to use stamps.


I used My Mind's Eye scrapbook papers on top of a bold orange textured cardstock.  The stamps (Studio G and Paper Studio) are inked with brown.  Three brads (in 2 colors) have been added to embellish the card.  The ribbon (Martha Stewart Crafts) is done in a new technique that I have been seeing, but do not know the name of the technique or who to credit!  I thought doing the ribbon this way would be harder than it was.  My biggest problem was that I like things to be straight and for the life of me I could not get it into a straight line!

I scraplifted the use of stripes and stamped images on patterned papers from Audrey's card.

    This is very pretty. Simple & elegant...and just my style...and the colors are great too. The ribbon technique is called "pleating", if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous card with us. Joni - Practical Scrappers DT
