TGIF, Bleeps! It's almost time for the weekend and so that means there is an other
Embellish Magazine challenge ready for you to start. This challenge incorporates the use of borders. That means, border punches specifically, but if you don't have border punches, then be creative! Use stamps, scissors, or die cuts from patterned paper kits. The sponsor is
Verve Stamps and their stamps embellish so well with border punches. Here is how I created mine for the challenge.
Instructions
- Make an A2 card base.
- Trim yellow cardstock block and stamp flowers into a background pattern.
- Die cut and emboss labels.
- Stamp sentiment on yellow label, assemble, then pop off yellow card front center.
- Trim yellow cardstock strip and border punch it, then adhere it to the bottom of other cardstock.
- Add ribbon and adhere the entire focal point to card front center.
- Add pink rhinestones to flower centers.
Supplies
Ink :: PTI - melon berry
Paper :: PTI - melon berry, lemon tart
Embellishments :: Kaiser Craft - rhinestones; SU! - ribbon
Tools :: Martha Stewart - border punch; Spellbinders - labels 9 nestabilities; cuttlebug

Love your cards! I promise I was just thinking today that I need some Peach cardstock. I made a card last night with a peach Prima flower and I realized that out of ALL of the paper I own... no peach. Glad to see Melon Berry is considered peach! Someone needs to come out with a great peach color cardstock!
