Eleanor's Thinking of You

Here's a card that I did for a Color Challenge quite a while back and never got posted.  It's been sitting here on my desk and I've been enjoying it.  I thought it was about time that I shared it with you.


The colors were Pink Pirouette, Raspberry Ripple and Crumb Cake.


I stamped the flourish with Crumb Cake at an angle, stamped the label in Crumb Cake and fussy cut it out, stamped the flower in Raspberry Ripple, painted it with a Pink Pirouette marker and fussy cut that out too.


The label is mounted on dimensionals and the sentiment is stamped in Whisper White.


So quick and easy. 


I grabbed the wrong punch.  I meant to round the corners but used the ticket corner punch instead.  I don't know that I'd seen a card with the main corners punched like this, but I couldn't put it back.  At least there's not a big smear across the front of the card.


I'm really liking this set.


All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

You crack me up! ;-) I really like the ticket punched corners--it mimics the corners on the label. Love the colors too--beautiful card, Bonnie!

Hi Bonnie! Love this CAS card. The colors are so pretty together, and I like how you used the Crumb Cake as your main color with a pop of Pink and Raspberry. Love the flourish and beautifully shaped sentiment. The flower is gorgeous. Personally, I like the ticket-corner punched bottom ... it's different and has more of an elegant look than the rounded. I think you grabbed the right punch :)

Ooooo I do like these corners even if you didn't mean for them to look like this. Everything Eleanor is looking particularly beautiful in this card!

Hi Bonnie, typically that's the kind of thing I'd do ... fortunately, your error has worked out fine - the corners look great and the card is lovely. The colour combination is one of my favourites. Elizabeth x

Lovely combo of colours and a beautiful card

What beautiful images...the flower is awesome. I think the ticket corner punch is very nice at the bottom, so no problems there.

Bonnie, I've done the same thing with that punch....but I love how your card - and the punched out places too. It gives it a totally different and lovely look.
So pretty!

Oooo, ooo, oooo! I looooooove this one! The combo of a neutral with a pop of bright pink, the clean design and a touch of shabby chic is like the perfect storm for me!! (a good storm ;)

Wow, what an elegant card Bonnie! I love the use of the Crumb Cake and the small pop of color with the Raspberry and Pink.
