Inspired by Nature Color Challenge

I had a little more time to stamp tonight (hence the late post) so I decided to do the Color Challenge on SCS.  The colors are Ruby Red, Baja Breeze and Whisper White.  After I finished my card, I updated the Accessory List and unfortunately the Sweet Slumber DSP and Baja Breeze Card Stock are no longer available.  However, you can still use my card as a layout inspiration.

My card is also for the Our Creative Corner challenge.  Their challenge this week is to use a border punch.  Read on after the card and I'll tell you what I did with the Eyelet Border Punch.

 

The one pattern in the Sweet Slumber DSP really lent itself to my layout.  Then I took a piece of Ruby Red Card Stock and punched the Eyelet Border.  The key to getting a nice corner with this punch is having just half the punch at the end.  Then, looking at the actual punch part, line up the last hole with the first hole of the punch.  Continue on punching the border as usual.  I really like how the corner turned out.

Next I stamped just two of the flowers from Inspired by Nature onto the Ruby Red.  I actually used a Stampin' Write Marker to ink up the flowers so I could stamp them one at a time.  I stamped the one flower on Baja Breeze and cut it out.  It's attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Lastly, I folded the Whisper White Satin  Ribbon (Occasions Mini) and added a Baja Breeze Corduroy Button.  I hope you can use this layout for your own cards!

Don't forget my Birthday Celebration is on until June 30!

I like how you used the corner of the DSP to accentuate the corner of your card. I have 2 full pieces of this paper left, wondering what to do with it... now I know! TFS!!
