The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Simply Elegant DSP.  Again, I am using my kindergarten skills on this one.  Not much stamping, only the greeting, and the sentiment.  This DSP made an elegant card.  Pictures do not show the beauty of this card, because of the gold, silver, and copper foiling the light bounces around so much, the flowers may be dark in one picture and shining in another one.

My design inspiration for today is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

I started with a Smoky Slate card stock card base.  To this card base, I added a panel of the Simply Elegant DSP matted onto a panel of Basic Black.  This panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A different panel of the DSP is used to cut a band to go across the middle of the card front.  This also is matted on Basic Black card stock and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A panel of Smoky Slate card stock is cropped using a die from the Scalloped Contour Dies.  Flowers are fussy cut from another panel of the DSP and popped onto the Smoky Slate panel.   A length of black twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack is wrapped around the cropped panel and tied in a bow.  Bling from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels is popped on the panel, the panel is then popped over the band using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A  from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a piece of Smoky Slate card stock, trimmed to a small size, and flagged on one end.    It is matted on a small strip of Basic Black card stock which is also flagged on one end.  The greeting is popped vertically using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Smoky Slate card stock that is matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock.  Flowers from the Blackberry Beauty DSP is fussy cut and adhered to the lower corner of the Smoky Slate panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Simply Elegant DSP that matches the card front applied to the envelope flap.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.
