I was throwing away some stray papers on my desk this morning, when I noticed I had written: "vanilla, kraft, soft sky" on a corner of one of them. So, I figured I knew what I was talking about and used the combo for today's card.The card base is 4.25 x 11, scored at 1.5 and 7 inches. Layer sky (embossed with textile) on kraft on bottom flap of card. For top, emboss flowers and butterfly with white (or vanilla, if you have it) embossing powder on sky. Layer on kraft, then on top of card. Punch strip of kraft with slit punch for scallops. Layer on bottom edge of card top. (See second photo for side view.) For photo corner. Punch kraft with giga scalloped square punch, then again with photo corner punch. You'll have to trim some excess. The sentiment is on two layered flower die cuts, and glued only on the bottom half so it can be used as a closure.
Ingredients:
Stamps- Essence of Love (Stampin' Up)
Paper- vanilla, kraft, soft sky (SU)
Ink- Versamark, creamy caramel (SU)
Punches- photo corner, slit (SU); giga scalloped square (Marvy)

what a beautiful card!! These colors are unique and just lovely. I don't know who or what the Pens are, but I'm guessing it is a team (?) HA HA
This is terrific and in my faves! Oh and go Sens (sorry, I'm Canadian...I had to!). But I will cheer for that cutie Sidney too...let's hope my Flames don't choke!
Wow! the rubons, the colors...everything about this is just gorgeous!!!
Another gorgeous card with this set, Bethany! I LOVE it!
Such a pretty card! I'm thinking I need to use this color combo on a baby boy card one of these days! And we are Wings fans in this house... :-)
But btw, I do have a Penguins jersey hanging in my closet, autographed by John Cullen. Do you remember him? He played minor league hockey in Flint, MI, and I was a big fan - got him to sign it after he had made the NHL when the Pens played the Wings some years ago, very exciting (at the time anyway).
Beautiful! The colors are so pretty - love the white images!!
GREAT card Bethany! I love this design! It's fun!!
Hope you enjoyed the game!! I LOVE going to playoff games but sad this year my beloved Oilers didn't make it...ugh! Oh well saved us a BUNDLE of money on our extended season tickets...haha!
Not sure who I want to win more...like the Pens because of Crosby...good Canadian boy ;)
We were so lucky you found that note! This is elegant, beauty at its best! That combo is definitely going into my inspiration notebook!
This card is over the top gorgeous! I didn't think I liked this stamp but YOU have changed my mind, great layout & color combo!
This is so elegant and pretty, lovely.
