I made this card first, before I came up with the second one for the tutorial.
I made the sample for the tutorial and the tutorial while waiting for Austin and Rick to come back from the hospital. I just noticed that on the sample card, the tab is on the wrong side. I was freaking out a bit until I saw that I did it right for the card I made while taking pictures for the tutorial. Thank goodness. I thought I just all showed you the wrong way.
For this one I started out with a 5 1/2″ x 7 1/4″ piece of sponged Chocolate Chip cardstock.
I tend to sponge everything lately. I makes the colors deeper and richer. I just like that look!
The inside of the back was lined with a cut down 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of sponged Always Artichoke.
On the front I added a 1/4″ smaller piece of Dashing Designer paper.
I used the All in a Row Argyle to Faux Stitch all around both inside and out.
The flower is and the Thank you are both from the In the Spotlight hostess set.
My insert measures 3 1/2″ x 4″ and has three layers.
Sorry my description is rather short.
I have been spending all day with Austin.
He was in a lot of pain, but he was awake all day and the swelling of his face was gone. Thank you all for the well wishes. I really appreciate those.
He just went to bed and I am pooped. I did want to get this post ready for tomorrow morning though.
I really love how this card came out. I like the Fun& Fast notes card too, but I LOVE darker, rich colors I used for this one.
