PPA 151 Stampin' Up! Secret Garden Card

Stampin up stampinup stamp it pretty card ideas catalog spring secret gardenToday kicks off a new Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA151) with a clever design by Margaret Moody.  Sketches are one of my favorite ways to get a card design off the starting blocks.  Check out what the PPA Resident Artists have created with Margaret's sketch HERE and play along!

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • I love the look of the Secret Garden (Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog) line images stamped on patterned paper.  The coordinating Secret Garden Framelits make cropping them a snap.

  • Large Rhinestone Basic Jewels give the flower centers a touch of bling!

  • Tone on tone stamping (matching ink and card stock) produces a soft and pretty background on the Soft Suede layer.
  • The only stitching you'll ever see on one of my cards is going to be faux (but I appreciate those who make the effort).  Frankly, I don't even own a sewing machine.  I used the cross stitch embossing design from Stampin' Up! Needlepoint Border Embossing Folders for my faux finish.

I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU!   Do you sew or prefer "faux" on your paper crafting projects?  Share a comment below!
