Blue Best Wishes

Here's a very quick card for today's SCS sketch challenge. I'm really getting a lot of use out of the Giga Guide Lines set from Papertrey Ink. It makes the perfect focal image for a quick card.

For this card, I stamped one of the medallion images in Hawaiian Shores ink on a white circle, then layered it on a matching cardstock mat. A silver brad accents the center of the medallion and a coordinating ribbon tab is slipped under the left edge. The rest of the card is simply layers of coordinating papers, a few of them machine stitched around the edges to add interest. I used a patterned paper with circles to bring in another round element on the card.

The "best wishes" sentiment from Mega Mixed Messages is stamped in Hawaiian Shores ink on a New Leaf panel. The new pigment-like inks show up nicely on even darker cardstock.

Materials Used:
Giga Guide Lines and Mega Mixed Messages stamp sets, Hawaiian Shores ink, Hawaiian Shores and New Leaf cardstock, Green Boutique designer paper, Hawaiian Shores grosgrain ribbon (Papertrey Ink); circle dies (Nestabilities); silver brad (Making Memories); sewing machine; foam tape
