The original version of this card has some details that really make it stand out. I kept most of those details in my version and added a few of my own. The card layout is the same, so that I could stay true to the original's details. One change was the stamp sets I used in the card. Instead of Artfully Asian, I used Sassy Stems for the focal image and the flowers from Love It for the background. So that the teal wouldn't be so dominant, I stamped off once on scrap paper before stamping on the white cardstock. The original sentiment was "thank you," so I stayed with that theme, but used a different stamp set. I also changed the card's colors. I used teal and whisper white along with black, instead of plum and vanilla. I colored the flower image with Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits. There's a small dot of Dazzling Diamonds in the centers of the flowers. I ran the image through the crimper. What a cool look! I kept the brad placement and details the same. I love the idea of using a small circle (1/4") behind the brad for an extra pop of color. In addition to the details in the original card, I added a row of paper piercing along the Taken with Teal strip that frames the black section in the center of the card. I had a hard time taking a good picture of this card--I can't get the teal to look right for some reason, so unfortunately, the picture doesn't do the card justice . Materials Used:
